HTTP Status Code Lookup

Search every assigned HTTP status code with its name, class, and what it means for a request, from 100 informational to 511 network authentication.

An HTTP status code is the first digit group of a response line. The class tells you who is responsible for the outcome: 1xx is progress, 2xx is success, 3xx is a redirect, 4xx is a client problem, and 5xx is a server problem.

Questions about http status code lookup

What is the difference between 401 and 403?
401 means the request lacks valid authentication credentials and expects them. 403 means the server understood who you are and refused anyway.
Is 418 a joke?
It is assigned as a teapot, and some servers still use it as a playful rejection. Treat unexpected 4xx responses as a real signal rather than a joke.
Which codes are not in the list?
Only unassigned numbers are missing, plus a few codes that are used inside protocols rather than in HTTP responses.
