HTTP Responses

HTTP Responses

An HTTP response contains a result code, header fields, and a body.

The HTTP protocol expects the result code and all header fields to be returned before any body content.

Some commonly used status codes include:

404: Indicates that the requested resource is not available

401: Indicates that the request requires HTTP authentication

500: Indicates that an error occurred inside the HTTP server that prevented it from fulfilling the request

503: Indicates that the HTTP server is temporarily overloaded and unable to handle the request
