Understanding HTTP Status Codes

HTTP status codes are three-digit numbers that web servers use to communicate the outcome of a client's request. They provide information about whether a request was successful, encountered an error, or requires further action.

Common Status Code Categories:

  • 1xx (Informational): Provisional response, indicating that the request was received and understood. Seldom used.
  • 2xx (Success): The request was successfully received, understood, and accepted.
  • 200 OK: Standard response for successful HTTP requests.
  • 201 Created: The request has been fulfilled, resulting in a new resource being created.
  • 204 No Content: The server successfully processed the request but is not returning any content.
  • 3xx (Redirection): Further action needs to be taken by the client to fulfill the request.
  • 301 Moved Permanently: This and all future requests should be directed to the given URL.
  • 302 Found: The resource resides temporarily under a different URL.
  • 304 Not Modified: Indicates that the resource has not been modified since the last time the client requested it.
  • 4xx (Client Error): The request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled.
  • 400 Bad Request: The server could not understand the request due to invalid syntax.
  • 403 Forbidden: The client does not have permission to access the resource.
  • 404 Not Found: The server has not found anything matching the requested URI.
  • 5xx (Server Error): The server failed to fulfill a valid request.
  • 500 Internal Server Error: A generic error message given when an unexpected condition was encountered.
  • 502 Bad Gateway: The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from an upstream server.
  • 503 Service Unavailable: The server is currently unavailable (overloaded or down for maintenance).
