List of HTTP Status and Error Codes

During your HTTP sessions, you will receive various numbered codes from Web servers. Some codes represent errors; most others simply communicate the status of the connection. Below are brief explanations for the most common status and error codes.

Code

Description

100 Series

Informational - These status codes indicate a provisional response. The client should be prepared to receive one or more 1xx responses before receiving a regular response.

100

Continue.

101

Switching protocols.

200 Series

Success - This class of status codes indicates that EFT Server successfully accepted the client request.

200

The client request has succeeded. This status code indicates that the Web server has successfully processed the request.

201

203

Non-authoritative information.

204

No content.

205

Reset content.

206

300 Series

Redirection - The client browser must take more action to fulfill the request. For example, the browser may have to request a different page on EFT Server or repeat the request by using a proxy server.

302

Object moved. This error can occur when you have configured HTTP to HTTP redirection.

304

Not modified. The client requests a document that is already in its cache and the document has not been modified since it was cached. The client uses the cached copy of the document, instead of downloading it from EFT Server

307

Temporary redirect.

400 Series

Client Error - An error occurs, and the client appears to be at fault. For example, the client may request a page that does not exist, or the client may not provide valid authentication information.

400

  • The script mapping for the file type that you are trying to execute is not set up to recognize the verb that you are using (for example, GET or POST).
