CRUD

Status codes based on REST methods

• In your own words, describe what each group of status code represents:
  • 100’s = informational status codes: request received and server will try to comply with request
  • 200’s = success code: request accepted
  • 300’s = redirection codes tell client that the resource they’re requesting isn’t at this location anymore
  • 400’s = client error codes tell client they sent an invalid request
  • 500’s = server error codes indicate problem with the server, try again
• What is a status code 202? Tells client the request was valid but the response is still processing
• What is a status code 308? Permanent redirect gives client a new URL and instructs them not to use the current one again
• What code would you use if an update didn’t return data to a client? 500’s
• What code would you use if a resource used to exist but no longer does? 300’s
• What is the ‘Forbidden’ status code? Client doesn’t have permission to access the resource
