A request method is not supported for the requested resource; for example, a GET request on a form that requires data to be presented via POST, or a PUT request on a read-only resource. 406 Not Acceptable The requested resource is capable of generating only content not acceptable according to the Accept headers sent in the request.
The length of the request body in octets (8-bit bytes). Content-Length: 348: Permanent RFC 9110: Content-MD5: A Base64-encoded binary MD5 sum of the content of the request body. Content-MD5: Q2hlY2sgSW50ZWdyaXR5IQ== Obsolete [15] RFC 1544, 1864, 4021: Content-Type: The Media type of the body of the request (used with POST and PUT requests).
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.
Similarly, a request to DELETE a certain user will have no effect if that user has already been deleted. In contrast, the methods POST, CONNECT, and PATCH are not necessarily idempotent, and therefore sending an identical POST request multiple times may further modify the state of the server or have further effects, such as sending multiple ...
The request/response message consists of the following: Request line, such as GET /logo.gif HTTP/1.1 or Status line, such as HTTP/1.1 200 OK, Headers; An empty line; Optional HTTP message body data; The request/status line and headers must all end with <CR><LF> (that is, a carriage return followed by a line feed).
If a server responds to a POST or other non-idempotent request with a 303 See Other response and a value for the location header, the client is expected to obtain the resource mentioned in the location header using the GET method; to trigger a request to the target resource using the same method, the server is expected to provide a 307 ...

Despite the greater clarity provided by this disambiguation, the 302 code is still employed in web frameworks to ...
