HTTP 1.1 Status code and what it means
The following table shows the common HTTP 1.1 status codes along with their corresponding state information and meanings.
You should be cautious about using state codes that only have HTTP 1.1 support, because many browsers can only support HTTP 1.0. If you use HTTP 1.1-specific status codes, it's a good idea to check the HTTP version number of the request. Status Code state information meaning
The initial request of Continue has been accepted and the customer should continue to send the remainder of the request. (HTTP 1.1 new)
The switching protocols server converts requests to a different protocol (HTTP 1.1 new)
All OK, the answer document for Get and post requests follows.
The 201 Created Server has created the document, and the location header gives its URL.
The accepted has accepted the request, but the processing has not yet been completed.
203 Non-authoritative Information The document has returned normally, but some of the answer headers may be incorrect because a copy of the document is being used (HTTP 1.1 new).
204 No Content does not have a new document, the browser should continue to display the original document. This status code is useful if the user periodically refreshes the page and the servlet can determine that the user's document is new enough.
205 The Reset content does not have new content, but the browser should reset what it displays. Used to force the browser to clear form input (HTTP 1.1 new).
206 Partial Content Customer sent a GET request with a range header, and the server completed it (HTTP 1.1 new).
Multiple choices customer-requested documents can be found in multiple locations that are already listed in the returned document. If the server wants to make a preference, it should be indicated in the location answer header.
Moved permanently customer requested document elsewhere, the new URL is given in the location header, and the browser should automatically access the new URL.
The 302 Found is similar to 301, but the new URL should be treated as a temporary alternative, not permanent. Note that the corresponding state information in the HTTP1.0 is "moved temporatily".
When this status code appears, the browser can automatically access the new URL, so it is a useful status code.
Note that this status code can sometimes be replaced with 301. For example, if the browser incorrectly requests Http://host/~user (a trailing slash is missing), some servers return 301, and some return 302.
Strictly speaking, we can only assume that the browser will automatically redirect only if the original request is get. Please see 307.
303 The other is similar to 301/302, except that if the original request was post,location the redirected target document specified by the header should be fetched through get (HTTP 1.1 new).
The 304 not Modified client has buffered documents and makes a conditional request (typically providing a if-modified-since header that indicates that the customer only wants to update the document for a specified date). The server tells the customer that the previously buffered document can continue to be used.
305 Use proxy Client-requested documentation should be extracted via the proxy server indicated by the location header (HTTP 1.1 new).
307 Temporary Redirect and 302 (Found) are the same. Many browsers incorrectly respond to 302 responses for redirection, even if the original request is post, even if it is actually only redirected when the POST request is answered at 303. For this reason, HTTP 1.1 has been added 307 to further clear the locale code: when a 303 reply occurs, the browser can follow the redirected get and post requests, and if 307 answers, the browser can only follow the redirection of the got request. (HTTP 1.1 new)
Bad request syntax error occurred.
401 Unauthorized customer is trying to access a password-protected page without authorization. A www-authenticate header is included in the answer, the browser displays the user name/password dialog Accordingly, and then makes the request again after filling in the appropriate authorization header.
403 Forbidden Resource is not available. The server understands the customer's request, but refuses to process it. This is usually caused by a permission setting on a file or directory on the server.
404 Not Found Cannot find a resource at the specified location. This is also a common answer.
The 405 method does not allowed request methods (GET, POST, head, DELETE, put, Trace, and so on) do not apply to the specified resource. (HTTP 1.1 new)
406 not acceptable the specified resource has been found, but its MIME type is incompatible with the client specified in the Accpet header (HTTP 1.1 new).
The 407 proxy authentication Required is similar to 401, which means that the customer must first be authorized by the proxy server. (HTTP 1.1 new)
408 Request Timeout The customer has not made any requests for the duration of the server license. Customers can repeat the same request at a later time. (HTTP 1.1 new)
409 Conflict are usually associated with put requests. The request cannot succeed because the request and the current state of the resource are conflicting. (HTTP 1.1 new)
410 Gone The requested document is no longer available and the server does not know which address should be redirected to. It differs from 404 in that the return of 407 indicates that the document left the specified location permanently, while 404 indicates that the document is not available because of an unknown reason. (HTTP 1.1 new)
411 Length Required The server cannot process the request unless the customer sends a content-length header. (HTTP 1.1 new)
Some prerequisites specified in the 412 precondition Failed request header failed (HTTP 1.1 new).
413 Request Entity Too Large the size of the target document exceeds the size that the server is currently willing to handle. If the server considers itself able to process the request later, it should provide a Retry-after header (HTTP 1.1 new).
414 Request Uri Too long URI (HTTP 1.1 new).
The 416 requested range not satisfiable server does not meet the range header specified by the customer in the request. (HTTP 1.1 new)
Internal server Error Servers encountered unexpected circumstances, unable to complete the customer's request.
The 501 not implemented server does not support the functionality required to implement the request. For example, the customer issued a put request that the server does not support.
502 Bad Gateway server, as a gateway or proxy, accesses the next server in order to complete the request, but the server returns an illegal reply.
503 Service unavailable Server failed to answer due to maintenance or overload. For example, a servlet might return 503 if the database connection pool is full. The server can provide a retry-after header when it returns 503.
The 504 Gateway Timeout is used by a server acting as a proxy or gateway, indicating that an answer cannot be received from a remote server in a timely manner. (HTTP 1.1 new)
505 HTTP version not supported server does not support HTTP versions as specified in the request. (HTTP 1.1 new)
