Encyclopedia > HTTP status code

The following is a list of HTTP response status codes and standard associated phrases, intended to give a short textual description of the status. These status codes are specified by RFC 2616, along with additional codes, some from the Distributed Authoring (WebDAV) extension. Others are unstandardised but commonly used. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a method used to transfer or convey information on the World Wide Web. ... WebDAV was an IETF working group. ...


The first digit of the status code specifies one of five classes of response.

Contents

1xx Informational

Request received, continuing process.

100 Continue
101 Switching Protocols
102 Processing (WebDAV)

2xx Success

The action was successfully received, understood, and accepted.

200 OK
201 Created
202 Accepted
203 Non-Authoritative Information (since HTTP/1.1)
204 No Content
205 Reset Content
206 Partial Content
207 Multi-Status (WebDAV)
The message body that follows is an XML message and can contain a number of separate response codes, depending on how many sub-requests were made.

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a W3C-recommended general-purpose markup language that supports a wide variety of applications. ...

3xx Redirection

The client must take additional action to complete the request.

300 Multiple Choices
301 Moved Permanently
This and all future requests should be directed to another URI.
302 Found
This is the most popular redirect code, but also an example of industrial practice contradicting the standard. HTTP/1.0 specification (RFC 1945) required the client to perform a temporary redirect (the original describing phrase was "Moved Temporarily"), but popular browsers implemented it as a 303 See Other. Therefore, HTTP/1.1 added status codes 303 and 307 to disambiguate between the two behaviors. However, majority of Web applications and frameworks still use the 302 status code as if it were the 303.
303 See Other (since HTTP/1.1)
The response to the request can be found under another URI using a GET method.
304 Not Modified
305 Use Proxy (since HTTP/1.1)
Many HTTP clients (such as Mozilla and Internet Explorer) don't correctly handle responses with this status code.
306 Switch Proxy
No longer used.
307 Temporary Redirect (since HTTP/1.1)
In this occasion, the request should be repeated with another URI, but future requests can still be directed to the original URI. In contrast to 303, the original POST request must be repeated with another POST request.

Mozilla was the official, public, original name of Mozilla Application Suite by the Mozilla Foundation, nowadays called SeaMonkey suite. ... It has been suggested that Internet Explorer 7 be merged into this article or section. ...

4xx Client Error

The request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled.

400 Bad Request
401 Unauthorized
Similar to 403 Forbidden, but specifically for use when authentication is possible but has failed or not yet been provided. See basic authentication scheme and digest access authentication.
402 Payment Required
The original intention was that this code might be used as part of some form of digital cash or micropayment scheme, but that has not happened, and this code has never been used.
403 Forbidden
404 Not Found
405 Method Not Allowed
406 Not Acceptable
407 Proxy Authentication Required
408 Request Timeout
409 Conflict
410 Gone
Indicates that the resource requested is no longer available. This should be used when a resource has been intentionally removed; however, in practice, files are often simply deleted, leading to a 404 Not Found error instead.
411 Length Required
412 Precondition Failed
413 Request Entity Too Large
414 Request-URI Too Long
415 Unsupported Media Type
416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable
417 Expectation Failed
422 Unprocessable Entity (WebDAV)
The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors.
423 Locked (WebDAV)
The resource that is being accessed is locked
424 Failed Dependency (WebDAV)
The request failed due to failure of a previous request (e.g. a PROPPATCH).
425 Unordered Collection
Defined in drafts of WevDav Advanced Collections but not yet implemented.
426 Upgrade Required (RFC 2817)
The client should switch to TLS/1.0.
449 Retry With
A Microsoft extension: The request should be retried after doing the appropriate action.

In the context of a HTTP transaction, the basic authentication scheme is a method designed to allow a web browser, or other client program, to provide credentials – in the form of a user name and password – when making a request. ... Digest access authentication is one of the agreed methods a web page can use to negotiate credentials with a web user (using the HTTP protocol). ... ... Micropayments are means for transferring money, in situations where collecting money with the usual payment systems is impractical, or very expensive, in terms of the amount of money being collected. ... Netscape Navigator displaying the 404 error page at eBay. ... This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...

5xx Server Error

The server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request.

500 Internal Server Error
501 Not Implemented
502 Bad Gateway
503 Service Unavailable
504 Gateway Timeout
505 HTTP Version Not Supported
507 Insufficient Storage (WebDAV)
509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
This status code, while used by many servers, is not an official HTTP status code.
