No.

The response is quite simply partial as long as it hasn't ended. Any HTTP
transfer can pause at any moment and there's nothing in the protocol that says
it can't sit there quiet for 24 hours and then continue again.

This is normal HTTP, it is really nothing special about it.

This same fact has now been said 22 different ways. I can't wait until number
23.
