Fixes #58829
Customer Impact
Customers can't serve media content (video, audio) as the browser issues a range request for it, and the result has the wrong status code. This only applies when using the new MapStaticAssets API introduced in .NET 9, so customers will only be impacted if they manually updated their app to use the new API, or if they created their project from a .NET 9 project template.
