Description

When running the local server, after running collect static, we sometimes see errors like:

Requested Range Not Satisfiable: /static/res/img/astronaut.jpeg Requested Range Not Satisfiable: /static/res/img/astronaut.jpeg

The file still seems to load, so I'm not sure what the issue is, but it looks like an error to developers.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the 'Requested Range Not Satisfiable' error when serving static files in Django's development server. This occurs when the browser sends Range headers for partial content requests, which Django's static file handler may not fully support. A common solution is to use a more robust static file server like WhiteNoise in development as well.
