What are the most common HTTP status codes?

HTTP status codes are essential in understanding the response returned by a server after making an HTTP request. They provide the information about the status of the request and response from the server.

🎯HTTP response codes are categorized into five groups:

Informational (100-199)

Success (200-299)

Redirection (300-399)

Client Error (400-499)

Server Error (500-599)

🎯Here are some of the most common HTTP status codes:

• 200 OK: This status code indicates that the request was successful.
• 404 Not Found: This status code indicates that the requested resource could not be found on the server.
• 500 Internal Server Error: This status code indicates that there was an error on the server that prevented the request from being fulfilled.
• 401 Unauthorized: This status code indicates that the client is not authorized to access the requested resource.
• 403 Forbidden: This status code indicates that the client does not have permission to access the requested resource.

These codes are just a few examples of the many HTTP status codes that exist. The exact list of most common HTTP status codes can vary depending on the context and the specific application.

🤔Over to you:

HTTP status code 401 is for Unauthorized. Can you explain the difference between authentication and authorization, and which one code 401 check for?👀

Let me know in the comments😀

🎯Conclusion

HTTP status codes are essential in understanding the response returned by a server after making an HTTP request. By categorizing the codes and having a clear set of definitions for each, developers can quickly identify and troubleshoot issues with their applications.
