Hi All,

Welcome to learn HTTP status codes. The outline of the article is as follows,

1. What are HTTP Status codes
2. What are the different levels and their meanings

Ok then let’s start,

What is the HTTP Status Code?

HTTP standard for HyperText Transfer Protocol and mainly sending requests to the server and sending responses back to the client.

When we are sending a request and obtaining a response the response might be different such as the user might haven’t required authorization to access that particular resource, at that time the server should inform that message to the client. For that HTTP protocol is using HTTP status.

What are the different levels and their meanings?

There are 5 different classes/levels of HTTP status codes. They are as follows,

1. 100–199 — Informational Responses
2. 200- 299 — Successful Response
3. 300- 399 — Redirects
4. 400–499 — Client errors
5. 500–599 — Server errors
