What is the meaning of HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) status?
The internet comprises of more than 1 billion sites. Suppose an internet user needs to pull up a website, in that case, the landing page of their desired site, their bank, or their email inbox in their internet browser, they first need a web address. It finds the same website on the preferred network server. The transfer of the requested information on the local computer happens using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP.The web server answers with a 3-digit HTTP status code on the request of the browser. The server then informs the internet browser whether the request made was positive, an error, or it requires an authentication. The HTTP status codes are, in this way, an essential aspect of the web server's communicated reaction, and the server incorporates it consequently in the heading of each HTTP answer.
HTTP status codes:
HTTP status codes are an indication of their responses. They explain whether a specific HTTP status request is being completed or it has an error. If we talk about different HTTP status codes, in case you get a response between 100 to 199, it is informational, it indicates that the server is processed the received request. Whereas the HTTP status codes from 200 to 299 indicate that response is successful, 300-399 says that your request was not even performed.If you see results in between 400 to 499, it means your request was incomplete. Here the very well-known HTTP status 400 code indicates a negative response status that implies that your request can't be completed to the server due to client error. The HTTP 403 status code means your request has refused from authorization even after understanding it by the server. The most seen HTTP status 404 indicates that the page you are searching is could not found by the server. And another reason for HTTP 403 status can be that the server does not want to disclose your requested information.
The HTTP codes start from 500 to 599 tell us that you have an internal server error. HTTP status 500 that we see many times while browsing the internet, it indicates that the server has faced an unexpected situation that is stopping it from complete the request.
