SC_ACCEPTED
public static final int SC_ACCEPTED
202 Accepted.
The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has
not been completed. The request MAY or MAY NOT eventually be acted
upon, as it MAY be disallowed when processing actually takes place.
There is no facility for re-sending a status code from an
asynchronous operation such as this.
The 202 response is intentionally non-committal. Its purpose is to
allow a server to accept a request for some other process (perhaps a
batch-oriented process that is only run once per day) without
requiring that the user agent's connection to the server persist
until the process is completed. The entity returned with this
response SHOULD include an indication of the request's current status
and either a pointer to a status monitor or some estimate of when the
user can expect the request to be fulfilled.
SC_BAD_GATEWAY
public static final int SC_BAD_GATEWAY
502 Bad Gateway.
The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid
response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to
fulfill the request.
SC_BAD_REQUEST
public static final int SC_BAD_REQUEST
400 Bad Request.
The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed
syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without
modifications.
SC_CONFLICT
public static final int SC_CONFLICT
409 Conflict.
The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current
state of the resource. This code is only allowed in situations where
it is expected that the user might be able to resolve the conflict
and resubmit the request. The response body SHOULD include enough
information for the user to recognize the source of the conflict.
Ideally, the response entity would include enough information for the
user or user agent to fix the problem; however, that may not be
possible and is not required.
Conflicts are most likely to occur in response to a PUT request. If
versioning is being used and the entity being PUT includes changes to
a resource which conflict with those made by an earlier (third-party)
request, the server MAY use the 409 response to indicate that it
can't complete the request. In this case, the response entity SHOULD
contain a list of the differences between the two versions in a
format defined by the response Content-Type.
SC_CONTINUE
public static final int SC_CONTINUE
100 Continue.
The client may 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.
SC_CREATED
public static final int SC_CREATED
201 Created.
The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being
created. The newly created resource can be referenced by the URI(s)
returned in the entity of the response, with the most specific URL
for the resource given by a Location header field. The origin server
MUST create the resource before returning the 201 status code. If the
action cannot be carried out immediately, the server should respond
with 202 (Accepted) response instead.
SC_EXPECTATION_FAILED
public static final int SC_EXPECTATION_FAILED
417 Expectation failed
XXX
SC_FORBIDDEN
public static final int SC_FORBIDDEN
403 Forbidden.
The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it.
Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated.
If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make
public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the
reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code is commonly
used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request
has been refused, or when no other response is applicable.
SC_GATEWAY_TIMEOUT
public static final int SC_GATEWAY_TIMEOUT
504 Gateway Timeout.
The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, did not receive a
timely response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to
complete the request.
SC_GONE
public static final int SC_GONE
410 Gone.
The requested resource is no longer available at the server and no
forwarding address is known. This condition SHOULD be considered
permanent. Clients with link editing capabilities SHOULD delete
references to the Request-URI after user approval. If the server does
not know, or has no facility to determine, whether or not the
condition is permanent, the status code 404 (Not Found) SHOULD be
used instead. This response is cachable unless indicated otherwise.
The 410 response is primarily intended to assist the task of web
maintenance by notifying the recipient that the resource is
intentionally unavailable and that the server owners desire that
remote links to that resource be removed. Such an event is common for
limited-time, promotional services and for resources belonging to
individuals no longer working at the server's site. It is not
necessary to mark all permanently unavailable resources as "gone" or
to keep the mark for any length of time -- that is left to the
discretion of the server owner.
SC_HTTP_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED
public static final int SC_HTTP_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED
505 HTTP Version Not Supported.
The server does not support, or refuses to support, the HTTP protocol
version that was used in the request message. The server is
indicating that it is unable or unwilling to complete the request
using the same major version as the client, as described in section
3.1, other than with this error message. The response SHOULD contain
an entity describing why that version is not supported and what other
protocols are supported by that server.
SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR
public static final int SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR
500 Internal Server Error.
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it
from fulfilling the request.
SC_LENGTH_REQUIRED
public static final int SC_LENGTH_REQUIRED
411 Length Required.
The server refuses to accept the request without a defined Content-
Length. The client MAY repeat the request if it adds a valid
Content-Length header field containing the length of the message-body
in the request message.
SC_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED
public static final int SC_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED
405 Method Not Allowed.
The method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the
resource identified by the Request-URI. The response MUST include an
Allow header containing a list of valid methods for the requested
resource.
SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY
public static final int SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY
301 Moved Permanently.
The requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any
future references to this resource SHOULD be done using one of the
returned URIs. Clients with link editing capabilities SHOULD
automatically re-link references to the Request-URI to one or more of
the new references returned by the server, where possible. This
response is cachable unless indicated otherwise.
If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location
field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity
of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a
hyperlink to the new URI(s).
If the 301 status code is received in response to a request other
than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the
request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might
change the conditions under which the request was issued.
Note: When automatically redirecting a POST request after receiving
a 301 status code, some existing HTTP/1.0 user agents will
erroneously change it into a GET request.
SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY
public static final int SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY
302 Moved Temporarily.
The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI.
Since the redirection may be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD
continue to use the Request-URI for future requests. This response is
only cachable if indicated by a Cache-Control or Expires header
field.
If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location
field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity
of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a
hyperlink to the new URI(s).
If the 302 status code is received in response to a request other
than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the
request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might
change the conditions under which the request was issued.
Note: When automatically redirecting a POST request after receiving
a 302 status code, some existing HTTP/1.0 user agents will
erroneously change it into a GET request.
SC_MULTIPLE_CHOICES
public static final int SC_MULTIPLE_CHOICES
300 Multiple Choices.
The requested resource corresponds to any one of a set of
representations, each with its own specific location, and agent-
driven negotiation information (section 12) is being provided so that
the user (or user agent) can select a preferred representation and
redirect its request to that location.
Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity
containing a list of resource characteristics and location(s) from
which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The
entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content-
Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of
the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice may be
performed automatically. However, this specification does not define
any standard for such automatic selection.
If the server has a preferred choice of representation, it SHOULD
include the specific URL for that representation in the Location
field; user agents MAY use the Location field value for automatic
redirection. This response is cachable unless indicated otherwise.
SC_NON_AUTHORITATIVE_INFORMATION
public static final int SC_NON_AUTHORITATIVE_INFORMATION
203 Non-Authoritative Information.
The returned metainformation in the entity-header is not the
definitive set as available from the origin server, but is gathered
from a local or a third-party copy. The set presented MAY be a subset
or superset of the original version. For example, including local
annotation information about the resource MAY result in a superset of
the metainformation known by the origin server. Use of this response
code is not required and is only appropriate when the response would
otherwise be 200 (OK).
SC_NOT_ACCEPTABLE
public static final int SC_NOT_ACCEPTABLE
406 Not Acceptable.
The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating
response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable
according to the accept headers sent in the request.
Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity
containing a list of available entity characteristics and location(s)
from which the user or user agent can choose the one most
appropriate. The entity format is specified by the media type given
in the Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the
capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate
choice may be performed automatically. However, this specification
does not define any standard for such automatic selection.
Note: HTTP/1.1 servers are allowed to return responses which are
not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request.
In some cases, this may even be preferable to sending a 406
response. User agents are encouraged to inspect the headers of an
incoming response to determine if it is acceptable. If the response
could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily stop receipt
of more data and query the user for a decision on further actions.
SC_NOT_FOUND
public static final int SC_NOT_FOUND
404 Not Found.
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No
indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or
permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the
client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410
(Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some
internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is
permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
SC_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
public static final int SC_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
501 Not Implemented.
The server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the
request. This is the appropriate response when the server does not
recognize the request method and is not capable of supporting it for
any resource.
SC_NOT_MODIFIED
public static final int SC_NOT_MODIFIED
304 Not Modified.
If the client has performed a conditional GET request and access is
allowed, but the document has not been modified, the server SHOULD
respond with this status code. The response MUST NOT contain a
message-body.
The response MUST include the following header fields:
o Date
o ETag and/or Content-Location, if the header would have been sent in
a 200 response to the same request
o Expires, Cache-Control, and/or Vary, if the field-value might
differ from that sent in any previous response for the same variant
If the conditional GET used a strong cache validator (see section
13.3.3), the response SHOULD NOT include other entity-headers.
Otherwise (i.e., the conditional GET used a weak validator), the
response MUST NOT include other entity-headers; this prevents
inconsistencies between cached entity-bodies and updated headers.
If a 304 response indicates an entity not currently cached, then the
cache MUST disregard the response and repeat the request without the
conditional.
If a cache uses a received 304 response to update a cache entry, the
cache MUST update the entry to reflect any new field values given in
the response.
The 304 response MUST NOT include a message-body, and thus is always
terminated by the first empty line after the header fields.
SC_NO_CONTENT
public static final int SC_NO_CONTENT
204 No Content.
The server has fulfilled the request but there is no new information
to send back. If the client is a user agent, it SHOULD NOT change its
document view from that which caused the request to be sent. This
response is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take
place without causing a change to the user agent's active document
view. The response MAY include new metainformation in the form of
entity-headers, which SHOULD apply to the document currently in the
user agent's active view.
The 204 response MUST NOT include a message-body, and thus is always
terminated by the first empty line after the header fields.
SC_OK
public static final int SC_OK
200 OK.
The request has succeeded. The information returned with the response
is dependent on the method used in the request, for example:
GET an entity corresponding to the requested resource is sent in the
response;
HEAD the entity-header fields corresponding to the requested resource
are sent in the response without any message-body;
POST an entity describing or containing the result of the action;
TRACE an entity containing the request message as received by the end
server.
SC_PARTIAL_CONTENT
public static final int SC_PARTIAL_CONTENT
206 Partial Content.
The server has fulfilled the partial GET request for the resource.
The request must have included a Range header field (section 14.36)
indicating the desired range. The response MUST include either a
Content-Range header field (section 14.17) indicating the range
included with this response, or a multipart/byteranges Content-Type
including Content-Range fields for each part. If multipart/byteranges
is not used, the Content-Length header field in the response MUST
match the actual number of OCTETs transmitted in the message-body.
A cache that does not support the Range and Content-Range headers
MUST NOT cache 206 (Partial) responses.
SC_PAYMENT_REQUIRED
public static final int SC_PAYMENT_REQUIRED
402 Payment Required.
This code is reserved for future use.
SC_PRECONDITION_FAILED
public static final int SC_PRECONDITION_FAILED
412 Precondition Failed.
The precondition given in one or more of the request-header fields
evaluated to false when it was tested on the server. This response
code allows the client to place preconditions on the current resource
metainformation (header field data) and thus prevent the requested
method from being applied to a resource other than the one intended.
SC_PROXY_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED
public static final int SC_PROXY_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED
407 Proxy Authentication Required.
This code is similar to 401 (Unauthorized), but indicates that the
client MUST first authenticate itself with the proxy. The proxy MUST
return a Proxy-Authenticate header field (section 14.33) containing a
challenge applicable to the proxy for the requested resource. The
client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Proxy-Authorization
header field (section 14.34). HTTP access authentication is explained
in section 11.
SC_REQUESTED_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE
public static final int SC_REQUESTED_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE
416 Requested range not satisfiable
XXX
SC_REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE
public static final int SC_REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE
413 Request Entity Too Large.
The server is refusing to process a request because the request
entity is larger than the server is willing or able to process. The
server may close the connection to prevent the client from continuing
the request.
If the condition is temporary, the server SHOULD include a Retry-
After header field to indicate that it is temporary and after what
time the client may try again.
SC_REQUEST_TIMEOUT
public static final int SC_REQUEST_TIMEOUT
408 Request Timeout.
The client did not produce a request within the time that the server
was prepared to wait. The client MAY repeat the request without
modifications at any later time.
SC_REQUEST_URI_TOO_LONG
public static final int SC_REQUEST_URI_TOO_LONG
414 Request-URI Too Long.
The server is refusing to service the request because the Request-URI
is longer than the server is willing to interpret. This rare
condition is only likely to occur when a client has improperly
converted a POST request to a GET request with long query
information, when the client has descended into a URL "black hole" of
redirection (e.g., a redirected URL prefix that points to a suffix of
itself), or when the server is under attack by a client attempting to
exploit security holes present in some servers using fixed-length
buffers for reading or manipulating the Request-URI.
SC_RESET_CONTENT
public static final int SC_RESET_CONTENT
205 Reset Content.
The server has fulfilled the request and the user agent SHOULD reset
the document view which caused the request to be sent. This response
is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take place via
user input, followed by a clearing of the form in which the input is
given so that the user can easily initiate another input action. The
response MUST NOT include an entity.
SC_SEE_OTHER
public static final int SC_SEE_OTHER
303 See Other.
The response to the request can be found under a different URI and
SHOULD be retrieved using a GET method on that resource. This method
exists primarily to allow the output of a POST-activated script to
redirect the user agent to a selected resource. The new URI is not a
substitute reference for the originally requested resource. The 303
response is not cachable, but the response to the second (redirected)
request MAY be cachable.
If the new URI is a location, its URL SHOULD be given by the Location
field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity
of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a
hyperlink to the new URI(s).
SC_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE
public static final int SC_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE
503 Service Unavailable.
The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a
temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication
is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after
some delay. If known, the length of the delay may be indicated in a
Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD
handle the response as it would for a 500 response.
Note: The existence of the 503 status code does not imply that a
server must use it when becoming overloaded. Some servers may wish
to simply refuse the connection.
SC_SWITCHING_PROTOCOLS
public static final int SC_SWITCHING_PROTOCOLS
101 Switching Protocols.
The server understands and is willing to comply with the client's
request, via the Upgrade message header field (section 14.41), 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 only be switched 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 may be advantageous when delivering resources
that use such features.
SC_UNAUTHORIZED
public static final int SC_UNAUTHORIZED
401 Unauthorized.
The request requires user authentication. The response MUST include a
WWW-Authenticate header field (section 14.46) containing a challenge
applicable to the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the
request with a suitable Authorization header field (section 14.8). If
the request already included Authorization credentials, then the 401
response indicates that authorization has been refused for those
credentials. If the 401 response contains the same challenge as the
prior response, and the user agent has already attempted
authentication at least once, then the user SHOULD be presented the
entity that was given in the response, since that entity MAY include
relevant diagnostic information. HTTP access authentication is
explained in section 11.
SC_UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE
public static final int SC_UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE
415 Unsupported Media Type.
The server is refusing to service the request because the entity of
the request is in a format not supported by the requested resource
for the requested method.
SC_USE_PROXY
public static final int SC_USE_PROXY
305 Use Proxy.
The requested resource MUST be accessed through the proxy given by
the Location field. The Location field gives the URL of the proxy.
The recipient is expected to repeat the request via the proxy.
addCookie

to the URL.
If this method is not used to construct an URL any session information
could be lost.
The URL must not be a relative URL.
