HTTP Request & Response

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a communication protocol that connects users to web servers, primarily for transmitting HTML pages. It includes various types of requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, PATCH, OPTIONS) for different actions on resources, and responses are categorized into status codes (1xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx) indicating the result of the request. Each status code provides specific information about the success or failure of the request, including client and server errors.

HTTP Requests
HTTP requests are made by a client to request an action on a resource identified by a
URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). There are several types of HTTP requests, each
designed for specific actions:

●​ GET: Requests data from a specified resource.

●​ POST: Submits data to be processed to a specified resource.

●​ PUT: Updates a specified resource with the data provided.

●​ DELETE: Deletes a specified resource.

●​ HEAD: Similar to GET, but it requests only the headers and status line, not
the body of the response.

●​ PATCH: Applies partial modifications to a resource.

●​ OPTIONS: Returns the HTTP methods that the server supports for a specific
URL.

HTTP Response:

HTTP response status codes are issued by a server in response to a client's request
made to the server. These codes are divided into five categories:

1xx: Informational:
●​ 100 Continue: The server has received the request headers, and the client
should proceed to send the request body.

2xx: Success:

●​ 200 OK: The request has succeeded. The information returned with the
response depends on the method used in the request.

●​ 201 Created: The request has been fulfilled, leading to the creation of a new
resource.

●​ 202 Accepted: The request has been accepted for processing, but the
processing has not been completed.

●​ 204 No Content: The server successfully processed the request but is not
returning any content.

3xx: Redirection:

●​ 301 Moved Permanently: The URL of the requested resource has been
changed permanently. The new URL is given in the response.

●​ 302 Found: Indicates that the resource is temporarily under a different URI.

●​ 304 Not Modified: Indicates that the resource has not been modified since
the last request.

4xx: Client Error:

●​ 400 Bad Request: The server cannot or will not process the request due to
an apparent client error (e.g., malformed request syntax).

●​ 401 Unauthorized: Authentication is required and has failed or has not yet
been provided.

●​ 403 Forbidden: The server understood the request but refuses to authorize
it.
●​ 404 Not Found: The requested resource could not be found but may be
available in the future.

●​ 405 Method Not Allowed: A request method is not supported for the
requested resource.

5xx: Server Error:

●​ 500 Internal Server Error: A generic error message, given when an


unexpected condition was encountered and no more specific message is
suitable.

●​ 501 Not Implemented: The server either does not recognize the request
method, or it lacks the ability to fulfill the request.

●​ 503 Service Unavailable: The server is currently unavailable (because it is


overloaded or down for maintenance.
