HTTP error codes

 
 
A list of all HTTP/1.1 error codes can be found here.

The error codes are based on the information from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) HTTP/1.1 Protocol (RFC 2616), see:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html







Explain HTTP error codes 100 series.



Error CodeError MessageDescription
100 Continue The client SHOULD continue with its request. This interim response is used to inform the client that the initial part of the request has been received and has not yet been rejected by the server. The client SHOULD continue by sending the remainder of the request or, if the request has already been completed, ignore this response. The server MUST send a final response after the request has been completed.
101 Switching Protocols The server understands and is willing to comply with the client's request, via the Upgrade message header field, for a change in the application protocol being used on this connection. The server will switch protocols to those defined by the response's Upgrade header field immediately after the empty line which terminates the 101 response.

The protocol SHOULD be switched only when it is advantageous to do so. For example, switching to a newer version of HTTP is advantageous over older versions, and switching to a real-time, synchronous protocol might be advantageous when delivering resources that use such features.
