JSP HTTP Status Code

JspHTTP Status Code

HTTP requests are similar in format to HTTP responses, and have the following structure:

• Start with status line +crlf (carriage return line)
• 0-line or multi-wardrobe module +crlf
• A blank line, like CRLF.
• Optional message body such as file, query data, query output

For example, a server response header looks like this:

http/1.1 okcontent-type:text/htmlheader2: ... HeaderN:  ... (Blank line) <!doctype ... >
The status line contains the HTTP version, a status code, and a short message corresponding to the status code.
The following table lists the HTTP status codes and the messages associated with them that may be returned from the server:
