HTTP Status Codes Explained

HTTP status codes are three-digit numbers returned by a server in response to a client request. They are grouped by first digit: 1xx (informational), 2xx (success), 3xx (redirection), 4xx (client error), 5xx (server error). Understanding them is essential for debugging APIs, web apps, and server configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

401 Unauthorized means no valid authentication — the user is not logged in. 403 Forbidden means the user is authenticated but lacks permission. Use 401 to prompt login; use 403 when logged in but access is denied.
301 Moved Permanently — search engines transfer link equity to the new URL. Use for permanent URL changes. 302 Found — search engines keep the old URL indexed. Use for temporary redirects.
400 Bad Request — syntax error, malformed JSON. 422 Unprocessable Entity — syntactically correct but semantically invalid (validation failed). Many REST APIs use 422 for field-level validation errors.
