Unlock the Secrets of HTTP Status Codes
The HTTP Status Code Explorer is a powerful tool designed to help developers, testers, and IT professionals understand the intricacies of HTTP status codes. With our comprehensive dictionary, you can easily find detailed explanations, use cases, and examples for every HTTP status code, making it easier to troubleshoot, optimize, and improve your web applications and services. Whether you're dealing with common codes like 200 OK or 404 Not Found, or more obscure ones like 418 I'm a teapot, our tool provides you with the knowledge you need to take your skills to the next level.
The initial part of a request has been received and has not yet been rejected by the server.
The server understands and is willing to comply with the client's request to change the application protocol.
An interim response used to inform the client that the server has accepted the complete request, but has not yet completed it.
Used to return some response headers before final HTTP message.
The request succeeded. The result meaning of 'success' depends on the HTTP method.
The request succeeded, and a new resource was created as a result. This is typically the response sent after POST requests.
The request has been received but not yet acted upon. It is noncommittal, since there is no way in HTTP to later send an asynchronous response indicating the outcome of the request.
The returned meta-information is not exactly the same as is available from the origin server, but is collected from a local or a third-party copy.
There is no content to send for this request, but the headers may be useful.
Tells the user agent to reset the document which sent this request.
This response code is used when the Range header is sent from the client to request only part of a resource.
The request has more than one possible response. The user agent or user should choose one of them.
The URL of the requested resource has been changed permanently. The new URL is given in the response.
This response code means that the URI of requested resource has been changed temporarily.
The server sent this response to direct the client to get the requested resource at another URI with a GET request.
This is used for caching purposes. It tells the client that the response has not been modified, so the client can continue to use the same cached version of the response.
The server sends this response to direct the client to get the requested resource at another URI with the same method that was used in the prior request.
This means that the resource is now permanently located at another URI, specified by the Location: HTTP Response header.
The server could not understand the request due to invalid syntax.
Although the HTTP standard specifies 'unauthorized', semantically this response means 'unauthenticated'. That is, the client must authenticate itself to get the requested response.
This response code is reserved for future use.
The client does not have access rights to the content; that is, it is unauthorized, so the server is refusing to give the requested resource.
The server can not find the requested resource.
The request method is known by the server but is not supported by the target resource.
This response is sent when the web server, after performing server-driven content negotiation, doesn't find any content that conforms to the criteria given by the user agent.
This is similar to 401 Unauthorized but authentication is needed to be done by a proxy.
This response is sent on an idle connection by some servers, even without any previous request by the client.
This response is sent when a request conflicts with the current state of the server.
This response is sent when the requested content has been permanently deleted from server, with no forwarding address.
Request entity is larger than limits defined by server.
The URI requested by the client is longer than the server is willing to interpret.
The media format of the requested data is not supported by the server.
The server refuses the attempt to brew coffee with a teapot.
The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors.
The user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time ('rate limiting').
The server has encountered a situation it does not know how to handle.
The request method is not supported by the server and cannot be handled.
This error response means that the server, while working as a gateway to get a response needed to handle the request, got an invalid response.
The server is not ready to handle the request. Common causes are a server that is down for maintenance or that is overloaded.
This error response is given when the server is acting as a gateway and cannot get a response in time.
The HTTP version used in the request is not supported by the server.
