What are HTTP status codes?

Status codes are messages a website’s server sends to the browser or system to indicate whether or not a request has been fulfilled. Categories of status codes:


β€’ Informational responses (100 – 103):

They are messages that alert the user to wait for a final response when the request is processing.

β€’ Successful responses (200 – 207):

This category of status codes indicates the action requested by the client was received, understood, and accepted.

β€’ Network messages (300 – 308):

These messages indicate that the requested content has been moved and will require further action to complete the request.

β€’ Client side error responses (400 – 499):

They are messages that indicate an error caused by the clients input.

β€’ Server side error responses (500 – 599):

They are messages that indicate that the server which the client is trying to access has a problem.
