RFC 2616 is obsoleted by RFC 7231 and its section 4.3.4 which says:
An origin server that allows PUT on a given target resource MUST send
a 400 (Bad Request) response to a PUT request that contains a
Content-Range header field (Section 4.2 of [RFC7233]), since the
payload is likely to be partial content that has been mistakenly PUT
as a full representation. Partial content updates are possible by
targeting a separately identified resource with state that overlaps a
portion of the larger resource, or by using a different method that
has been specifically defined for partial updates (for example, the
PATCH method defined in [RFC5789]).

True but organizations that publish stable, long-lived APIs don't
switch from 2616 to 7231 overnight.
