HTTP Status Codes

HTTP response codes are three-digit

numbers that provide information
about the status of a request made to
a web server. They help to indicate
whether the request was successful,
and if not, why not.

The Internet Assigned Numbers

Authority (IANA) is the organization
responsible for maintaining the
registry of HTTP response codes. They
define the codes and ensure that they
are used consistently across the
internet.

HTTP Request
Methods
HTTP defines request methods to indicate
the desired action for a resource.

Here are the 9 important request methods:

GET retrieves data from a specified resource.
HEAD retrieves data from a specified resource
without returning the body of the response.
POST sends data to a server to create a new
resource.
PUT updates an existing resource with new
data.
DELETE removes a specified resource.
OPTIONS retrieves the HTTP methods that the
server supports.
TRACE traces the request message across the
network path to the server.
PATCH applies partial modifications to a
resource.
CONNECT establishes a tunnel connection to a
server.
