HTTP HTTP Status Codes

HTTP Status Codes

HTTP response codes are used to indicate success, failure, and other properties
about the result of an HTTP request. Regardless of the contents of an HTTP
response message body, a client will act according to the response status code.

Table of Contents
1. 1xx: Informational
2. 2xx: Success

3. 3xx: Redirection

4. 4xx: Client error

5. 5xx: Server error

6. Additional status codes

7. Takeaway

Each HTTP response is accompanied by a status code, and they are broken into
five categories. Each of the response status codes is used to convey general
information about the outcome of the request.

There are five primary categories of HTTP response codes, each identifiable by the
first digit:

1xx: Informational
An informational response code informs the client that the request is continuing.

Takeaway
HTTP responses are always accompanied by an HTTP response status code. The
first digit of a status code indicates the category, which often indicates whether the
request succeeded or failed. Each status code can be a valuable clue when
troubleshooting problems between a client and server.
