Sending a large request body to a server after a request has been rejected for inappropriate headers would be inefficient. To have a server check the request's headers, a client must send Expect: 100-continue as a header in its initial request and receive a 100 Continue status code in response before sending the body. If the client receives an ...
The status code was formally proposed in 2013 by Tim Bray, following earlier informal proposals by Chris Applegate [10] in 2008 and Terence Eden [11] in 2012. It was approved by the IETF on December 18, 2015. [ 12 ]
In computing, POST is a request method supported by HTTP used by the World Wide Web. By design, the POST request method requests that a web server accepts the data enclosed in the body of the request message, most likely for storing it. [1] It is often used when uploading a file or when submitting a completed web form.
This is a list of Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) response status codes. Status codes are issued by a server in response to a client's request made to the server. Unless otherwise stated, all status codes described here is part of the current SMTP standard, RFC 5321. The message phrases shown are typical, but any human-readable alternative ...
The server-FTP process may send at most, one 1xx reply per command. 2xx: Positive Completion reply The requested action has been successfully completed. A new request may be initiated. 3xx: Positive Intermediate reply The command has been accepted, but the requested action is being held in abeyance, pending receipt of further information.
In the context of an HTTP transaction, basic access authentication is a method for an HTTP user agent (e.g. a web browser) to provide a user name and password when making a request. In basic HTTP authentication, a request contains a header field in the form of Authorization: Basic <credentials> , where <credentials> is the Base64 encoding of ID ...
If the user does not provide valid credentials or if the authentication fails, a 403 status code is returned. IP restrictions: The server may also restrict access to specific IP addresses or IP ranges. If the user's IP address is not included in the list of permitted addresses, a 403 status code is returned.
An HTTP response with this status code will additionally provide a URL in the header field Location. This is an invitation to the user agent (e.g. a web browser) to make a second, otherwise identical, request to the new URL specified in the location field. The end result is a redirection to the new URL.
