HTTP Status Codes¶

This is the list of status codes that are used in plone.restapi. Here is a full list of all HTTP status codes.

200 OK: Standard response for successful HTTP requests. The actual response will depend on the request method used. In a GET request, the response will contain an entity corresponding to the requested resource. In a POST request, the response will contain an entity describing or containing the result of the action.
201 Created: The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created.
204 No Content: The server successfully processed the request, but is not returning any content. Usually used as a response to a successful delete request.
2xx Success: This class of status codes indicates the action requested by the client was received, understood, accepted and processed successfully.
400 Bad Request: The server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing)
401 Unauthorized: Similar to 403 Forbidden, but specifically for use when authentication is required and has failed or has not yet been provided. The response must include a WWW-Authenticate header field containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource.
403 Forbidden: The request was a valid request, but the server is refusing to respond to it. Unlike a 401 Unauthorized response, authenticating will make no difference.
404 Not Found: The requested resource could not be found but may be available again in the future. Subsequent requests by the client are permissible.
405 Method Not Allowed: A request method is not supported for the requested resource; for example, a GET request on a form which requires data to be presented via POST, or a PUT request on a read-only resource.
409 Conflict: Indicates that the request could not be processed because of conflict in the request, such as an edit conflict in the case of multiple updates.
4xx Client Error: The 4xx class of status code is intended for cases in which the client seems to have errored.
500 Internal Server Error: The server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request.
5xx Server Error: The server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request.
