Encyclopedia > List of HTTP status codes

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 (RFC 2518, RFC 2817, RFC 2295, RFC 2774, RFC 4918), some from the Distributed Authoring (WebDAV) extension. Others are unstandardised but commonly used. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a communications protocol used to transfer or convey information on the World Wide Web. ... WebDAV was a working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). ...


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

Contents

1xx Informational

Request received, continuing process.

100 Continue
This means that the server has received the request headers, and that the client should proceed to send the request body (in the case of a request for which a body needs to be sent; for example, a POST request). If the request body is large, sending it to a server when a request has already been rejected based upon inappropriate headers is inefficient. To have a server check if the request could be accepted based on the request's headers alone, a client must send Expect: 100-continue as a header in its initial request (see RFC 2616 ยง14.20: Expect header) and check if a 100 Continue status code is received in response before continuing (or receive 417 Expectation Failed and not continue).[1]
101 Switching Protocols
102 Processing (WebDAV) (RFC 2518)

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a communications protocol used to transfer or convey information on the World Wide Web. ...

2xx Success

The action was successfully received, understood, and accepted.

200 OK
Standard response for HTTP successful requests.
201 Created
202 Accepted
203 Non-Authoritative Information (since HTTP/1.1)
204 No Content
205 Reset Content
206 Partial Content
Notice that a file has been partially downloaded. This is used by tools like wget to enable resuming of interrupted downloads, or split a download into multiple simultaneous streams.
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.

GNU Wget is a free software program that implements simple and powerful content retrieval from web servers and is part of the GNU project. ... The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a general-purpose markup language. ...

3xx Redirection

The client must take additional action to complete the request.

300 Multiple Choices
Indicates multiple options for the URI that the client may follow. It, for instance, could be used to present different format options for video, list files with different extensions, or word sense disambiguation.
301 Moved Permanently
This and all future requests should be directed to the given 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, the 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
Indicates the request URL has not been modified since last requested. Typically, the HTTP client provides a header like the If-Modified-Since header to provide a time with which to compare against. Utilizing this saves bandwidth and reprocessing on both the server and client.
305 Use Proxy (since HTTP/1.1)
Many HTTP clients (such as Mozilla [1] and Internet Explorer) don't correctly handle responses with this status code, primarily for security reasons.
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 request method should not be changed when reissuing the original request. For instance, a POST request must be repeated using another POST request.

A filename extension or filename suffix is an extra set of (usually) alphanumeric characters that is appended to the end of a filename to allow computer users (as well as various pieces of software on the computer system) to quickly determine the type of data stored in the file. ... In computational linguistics, word sense disambiguation (WSD) is the problem of determining in which sense a word having a number of distinct senses is used in a given sentence. ... Mozilla was the official, public, original name of Mozilla Application Suite by the Mozilla Foundation, nowadays called SeaMonkey suite. ... Windows Internet Explorer (formerly Microsoft Internet Explorer, abbreviated MSIE), commonly abbreviated to IE, is a series of popular graphical web browsers developed by Microsoft and included as part of the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems starting in 1995. ...

4xx Client Error

400 Bad Request
The request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled.
401 Unauthorized
Similar to 403 Forbidden, but specifically for use when authentication is possible but has failed or not yet been provided. See Basic access authentication 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
The request was a legal request, but the server is refusing to respond to it. Unlike a 401 Unauthorized response, authenticating will make no difference.
404 Not Found
405 Method Not Allowed
A request was made to a URL using a request method not supported by that URL; for example, using GET on a form which requires data to be presented via POST, or using PUT on a read-only resource
406 Not Acceptable
407 Proxy Authentication Required
408 Request Timeout
409 Conflict
410 Gone
Indicates that the resource requested is no longer available and will not be available again. This should be used when a resource has been intentionally removed; however, in practice, a 404 Not Found is often issued 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) (RFC 4918)
The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors.
423 Locked (WebDAV) (RFC 4918)
The resource that is being accessed is locked
424 Failed Dependency (WebDAV) (RFC 4918)
The request failed due to failure of a previous request (e.g. a PROPPATCH).
425 Unordered Collection
Defined in drafts of WebDav Advanced Collections, but not present in "Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) Ordered Collections Protocol" (RFC 3648).
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 an HTTP transaction, the basic access authentication 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 very small amounts of money, in situations where collecting such small amounts of money with the usual payment systems is impractical, or very expensive, in terms of the amount of money being collected. ... A 404 error is presented to the user. ... Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide secure communications on the Internet for such things as web browsing, e-mail, Internet faxing, instant messaging and other data transfers. ...

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
506 Variant Also Negotiates (RFC 2295)
507 Insufficient Storage (WebDAV) (RFC 4918)
509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
This status code, while used by many servers, is not an official HTTP status code.
510 Not Extended (RFC 2774)

HTTP/1.1: Status Code Definitions (4317 words)
The 4xx class of status code is intended for cases in which the client seems to have erred.
When this status code is returned for a byte-range request, the response SHOULD include a Content-Range entity-header field specifying the current length of the selected resource (see section 14.16).
Response status codes beginning with the digit "5" indicate cases in which the server is aware that it has erred or is incapable of performing the request.
