      In EAP 7/WildFly:

      1. Create a static content that has a content size of 10.

      $ echo 0123456789 > $JBOSS_HOME/welcome-content/test.txt

      2. Execute the following curl command to send a request having "Range: bytes=10-" header that a first-byte-pos is equal to the content-length.

      $ curl -v -r 10- http://localhost:8080/test.txt

      "416 Range Not Satisfiable" should be returned, but the following"206 Partial Content" with the "Content-Length: 0" is returned by EAP 7/WildFly (Undertow).

      $ curl -v -r 10- localhost:8080/test.txt
...

      Undertow currently returns "206 Partial Content" with the "Content-Length: 0" when first-byte-pos of the Range request header is equal to the size of the content.

      However, RFC 7233 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7233#section-2.1) states:

      2.1. Byte Ranges
      ...(snip)...

      If a valid byte-range-set includes at least one byte-range-spec with a first-byte-pos that is less than the current length of the representation,
      or at least one suffix-byte-range-spec with a non-zero suffix-length, then the byte-range-set is satisfiable.
      Otherwise, the byte-range-set is unsatisfiable.

      So, "416 Range Not Satisfiable" should be returned in this case.

      As a side note, if you use older Undertow than the version that contains the fix for UNDERTOW-1595, the same NullPointerException as UNDERTOW-1595 happens in this case, too.
