HTTP Status Code Flashcards: Meanings, Classes & Use Cases

Learn registered HTTP response status codes by number, reason phrase, class, and practical use case, with current IANA and RFC references.

Sobre este baralho

Learn the current IANA-registered HTTP response status codes as a practical recall system, not a loose cheat sheet.

What this deck practices

  • Code → meaning: all 61 response codes assigned in the IANA registry snapshot used on 25 August 2026, starting with the registered reason phrase and a concise RFC-based explanation.
  • Meaning → code: 27 selective reverse cards for common, atomic retrieval targets. These are not mechanical reversals of every entry.
  • Class purpose: exactly five cards for 1xx Informational, 2xx Successful, 3xx Redirection, 4xx Client Error, and 5xx Server Error.
  • Confusion sets: 401 vs 403; 301/302/307/308; 409 vs 422; 404 vs 410; 202 vs 204; and 502 vs 504.

The order introduces the five classes and common responses first, broadens through the registered set, and finishes with comparison and reference material. Forward and reverse variants are separated so one card does not immediately reveal another.

Special registry status

Temporary 104 Upload Resumption Supported is clearly marked with IANA’s recorded expiry of 13 November 2026. HTTP 402 is taught as registered but reserved by RFC 9110 for future use. Unused 306 and 418, plus obsoleted 510, live in a separate reference section rather than the ordinary recall sequence. Unassigned codes and ranges are excluded because they have no registered reason phrase or stable meaning to recall. Deprecated 305 is labeled accurately.

Explanations follow the IANA HTTP Status Code Registry and its linked RFC references. Reason phrases are labels, not complete normative semantics. Examples and comparisons are original paraphrases and do not prescribe one universal REST API design.

  1. Cartão 1

    Pergunta

    What is the purpose of the 1xx HTTP status-code class?

    Resposta

    Informational. A 1xx response is interim: it communicates connection status or request progress before the final response.

  2. Cartão 2

    Pergunta

    What is the purpose of the 2xx HTTP status-code class?

    Resposta

    Successful. A 2xx response means the request was successfully received, understood, and accepted.

  3. Cartão 3

    Pergunta

    What is the purpose of the 3xx HTTP status-code class?

    Resposta

    Redirection. A 3xx response means the user agent needs to take further action to fulfill the request, such as following another URI or using a cached representation.

  4. Cartão 4

    Pergunta

    What is the purpose of the 4xx HTTP status-code class?

    Resposta

    Client Error. A 4xx response means the client appears to have made an error; it does not prove that every fault lies in client code.

  5. Cartão 5

    Pergunta

    What is the purpose of the 5xx HTTP status-code class?

    Resposta

    Server Error. A 5xx response means the server knows it has erred or cannot perform the requested method.

  6. Cartão 6

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 200 mean?

    Resposta

    OK. The request succeeded; the meaning of any response content depends on the request method.

  7. Cartão 7

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 404 mean?

    Resposta

    Not Found. The origin server has no current representation for the target resource, or it is unwilling to disclose that one exists. The code does not say whether the condition is temporary or permanent.

  8. Cartão 8

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 301 mean?

    Resposta

    Moved Permanently. The target resource has a new permanent URI. For historical reasons, a user agent may change POST to GET when following it; use 308 when method preservation matters.

  9. Cartão 9

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 500 mean?

    Resposta

    Internal Server Error. The server hit an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.

  10. Cartão 10

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 201 mean?

    Resposta

    Created. The request was fulfilled and created one or more resources. The primary resource is identified by Location, or by the target URI when Location is absent.

  11. Cartão 11

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 401 mean?

    Resposta

    Unauthorized. The request was not applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the target resource. The response includes a WWW-Authenticate challenge.

  12. Cartão 12

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 503 mean?

    Resposta

    Service Unavailable. The server is temporarily unable to handle the request, often because of overload or maintenance. It may send Retry-After.

  13. Cartão 13

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 204 mean?

    Resposta

    No Content. The server successfully fulfilled the request and has no additional response content to send.

  14. Cartão 14

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 403 mean?

    Resposta

    Forbidden. The server understood the request but refuses to fulfill it. Credentials may be insufficient, or the refusal may be unrelated to authentication.

  15. Cartão 15

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 302 mean?

    Resposta

    Found. The target resource is temporarily available at another URI, so future requests should still use the original URI. A user agent may change POST to GET when following it.

  16. Cartão 16

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 400 mean?

    Resposta

    Bad Request. The server cannot or will not process the request because of a perceived client error, such as malformed syntax, invalid framing, or deceptive routing.

  17. Cartão 17

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 502 mean?

    Resposta

    Bad Gateway. A server acting as a gateway or proxy received an invalid response from an inbound server while trying to fulfill the request.

  18. Cartão 18

    Pergunta

    Which HTTP status code has the registered reason phrase “OK”?

    Resposta

    200 OK. It indicates that the request succeeded.

  19. Cartão 19

    Pergunta

  20. Cartão 20

    Pergunta

    Which HTTP status code has the registered reason phrase “Not Found”?

    Resposta

    404 Not Found. It means there is no current representation for the target resource, or the server will not disclose one.

  21. Cartão 21

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 304 mean?

    Resposta

    Not Modified. A conditional GET or HEAD would otherwise have returned 200, but the condition was false, so the client can use its stored representation. A 304 response has no content.

  22. Cartão 22

    Pergunta

    Which HTTP status code has the registered reason phrase “Created”?

    Resposta

    201 Created. It means the fulfilled request created one or more resources.

  23. Cartão 23

    Pergunta

    Which HTTP status code means the request lacks valid authentication credentials?

  33. Cartão 33

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 100 mean?

    Resposta

    Continue. The server received the initial part of the request and has not rejected it. With Expect: 100-continue, the client should continue sending the request content.

  34. Cartão 34

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 206 mean?

    Resposta

    Partial Content. The server is successfully fulfilling a range request by transferring one or more parts of the selected representation.

  35. Cartão 35

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 307 mean?

    Resposta

    Processing. This registered interim response says the server accepted the complete request but has not finished processing it; a final response still follows.

  44. Cartão 44

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 203 mean?

    Resposta

    Non-Authoritative Information. The request succeeded, but a transforming proxy modified the enclosed content from the origin server’s 200 response.

  45. Cartão 45

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 308 mean?

    Resposta

    Permanent Redirect. The resource has a new permanent URI, and an automatic redirect must preserve the request method.

  46. Cartão 46

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 410 mean?

    Resposta

    Gone. Access to the target resource is no longer available at the origin server, and the condition is likely permanent.

  47. Cartão 47

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 501 mean?

    Resposta

    Not Implemented. The server does not support functionality required to fulfill the request, such as an unrecognized method it cannot support for any resource.

  48. Cartão 48

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 103 mean?

    Resposta

    Early Hints. This interim response carries header fields the server is likely to include in the final response, letting the client make safe performance optimizations while it waits.

  49. Cartão 49

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 205 mean?

    Resposta

    Reset Content. The request succeeded, and the server wants the user agent to reset the document view that caused the request. The response has no content.

  50. Cartão 50

    Pergunta

    Which permanent redirect status code requires method preservation?

    Multi-Status. The response reports status for multiple independent operations, as defined for WebDAV.

  54. Cartão 54

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 300 mean?

    Resposta

    Multiple Choices. The target has more than one representation, and the response provides alternatives so the user or user agent can choose.

  55. Cartão 55

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 405 mean?

    Resposta

    Method Not Allowed. The origin server knows the request method, but the target resource does not support it. The response includes an Allow field.

  58. Cartão 58

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 303 mean?

    Resposta

    See Other. The Location URI identifies a different resource that can provide an indirect response; the user agent retrieves it with GET or HEAD.

  59. Cartão 59

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 406 mean?

    Resposta

    Not Acceptable. The target has no current representation acceptable under the request’s proactive negotiation fields, and the server will not send a default.

  60. Cartão 60

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 506 mean?

    Resposta

    Variant Also Negotiates. The server has a transparent content-negotiation configuration error: the chosen variant is itself configured to negotiate.

  61. Cartão 61

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 226 mean?

    Resposta

    IM Used. The server fulfilled a GET by returning the result of one or more instance manipulations applied to the current representation, identified in the IM response field.

  62. Cartão 62

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 305 mean?

    Resposta

    Use Proxy — deprecated. It was defined to direct access through a proxy, but RFC 9110 marks the status code deprecated. New implementations should not rely on it.

  63. Cartão 63

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 407 mean?

    Resposta

    Proxy Authentication Required. The client must authenticate to a proxy for this request. The proxy sends a Proxy-Authenticate challenge.

  64. Cartão 64

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 507 mean?

    Resposta

    Insufficient Storage. The server cannot store the representation needed to complete the method. WebDAV defines this as a temporary condition.

    Precondition Failed. One or more conditions in the request fields evaluated to false against the current resource state.

  68. Cartão 68

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 511 mean?

    Resposta

    Network Authentication Required. The client must authenticate to gain network access. It is intended for an intercepting proxy, such as a captive portal, not an origin server.

  69. Cartão 69

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 413 mean?

    Resposta

    Content Too Large. The server refuses to process the request because its content is larger than the server is willing or able to process.

  70. Cartão 70

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 411 mean?

    Resposta

    Length Required. The server refuses the request without a defined Content-Length; the client can retry with a valid value.

  71. Cartão 71

    Pergunta

    Which HTTP status code means a request precondition evaluated to false?

    Resposta

    412 Precondition Failed. The method is not applied when the stated condition does not match the resource’s current state.

  72. Cartão 72

    Pergunta

    Which HTTP status code asks the client to authenticate for network access rather than to the origin server?

    Resposta

    511 Network Authentication Required. It is designed for intercepting network proxies such as captive portals.

  73. Cartão 73

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 414 mean?

    URI Too Long. The server refuses the request because the target URI is longer than it is willing to interpret.

  74. Cartão 74

    Pergunta

    Which HTTP status code means the request content is too large to process?

    Resposta

    413 Content Too Large. The refusal is about the size of the request content, not the URI or request headers.

  75. Cartão 75

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 415 mean?

    Resposta

    Unsupported Media Type. The origin server refuses the request because its content format is unsupported for this method on the target resource.

  76. Cartão 76

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 416 mean?

    Resposta

    Range Not Satisfiable. The requested ranges were rejected because none can be satisfied or because the request contains too many small or overlapping ranges.

  77. Cartão 77

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 422 mean?

    Resposta

    Unprocessable Content. The server understands the content type and the syntax is correct, but it cannot process the contained instructions.

  78. Cartão 78

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 417 mean?

    Resposta

    Expectation Failed. At least one inbound server could not meet the expectation stated in the request’s Expect field.

  79. Cartão 79

    Pergunta

    Which HTTP status code means the request content format is unsupported for the target method?

    Locked. In WebDAV, the source or destination resource for the method is locked.

  82. Cartão 82

    Pergunta

    Which HTTP status code means syntactically correct content cannot be processed?

    Resposta

    422 Unprocessable Content. The content type is understood and the syntax is valid, but the contained instructions cannot be processed.

  83. Cartão 83

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 424 mean?

    Resposta

    Failed Dependency. The requested action depended on another action, and that other action failed.

  84. Cartão 84

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 425 mean?

    Resposta

    Too Early. The server is unwilling to risk processing a request that might be replayed, such as a request sent in TLS early data.

  85. Cartão 85

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 429 mean?

    Resposta

    Too Many Requests. The user sent too many requests in a given time. The response may include Retry-After.

  86. Cartão 86

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 426 mean?

    Resposta

    Upgrade Required. The server refuses the current protocol but might perform the request after the client upgrades. The response states the required protocol in Upgrade.

  87. Cartão 87

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 428 mean?

    Resposta

    Precondition Required. The origin server requires a conditional request, commonly to prevent a lost update when resource state changes between reading and writing.

  88. Cartão 88

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 431 mean?

    Resposta

    Request Header Fields Too Large. The server refuses to process the request because all request headers together, or one particular header, are too large.

  89. Cartão 89

    Pergunta

    Which HTTP status code is registered for rate limiting?

    Resposta

    429 Too Many Requests. It indicates too many requests in a given amount of time.

  90. Cartão 90

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 451 mean?

    Resposta

    Unavailable For Legal Reasons. Access is denied because of a legal demand. The code does not establish whether the resource exists.

  91. Cartão 91

    Pergunta

    How do HTTP 401 and 403 differ?

    Resposta

    401 Unauthorized means the request lacks valid authentication credentials and includes an authentication challenge. 403 Forbidden means the server understood the request but refuses it; credentials may be insufficient or irrelevant to the refusal.

  92. Cartão 92

    Pergunta

    How do HTTP 301, 302, 307, and 308 differ?

    Resposta

    301 is permanent and may change POST to GET. 302 is temporary and may change POST to GET. 307 is temporary and preserves the method. 308 is permanent and preserves the method.

  93. Cartão 93

    Pergunta

    How do HTTP 409 and 422 differ?

    Resposta

    409 Conflict is about a conflict with the target resource’s current state. 422 Unprocessable Content is about understood, syntactically correct request content whose instructions cannot be processed. Neither code dictates one universal REST API policy.

  94. Cartão 94

    Pergunta

    Which HTTP status code means access is denied because of a legal demand?

    Resposta

    451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons. The response can explain the legal demand and who it affects.

  95. Cartão 95

    Pergunta

    How do HTTP 404 and 410 differ?

    Resposta

    404 Not Found does not say whether the missing representation is temporary or permanent and can also hide a resource’s existence. 410 Gone says the resource is no longer available and the condition is likely permanent.

  96. Cartão 96

    Pergunta

    How do HTTP 202 and 204 differ?

    Resposta

    202 Accepted means processing was accepted but is not complete and may never happen. 204 No Content means the request was successfully fulfilled and there is no additional response content.

  97. Cartão 97

    Pergunta

    How do HTTP 502 and 504 differ?

    Resposta

    502 Bad Gateway means the gateway or proxy received an invalid upstream response. 504 Gateway Timeout means it did not receive the needed upstream response in time.

  98. Cartão 98

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 104 mean, and what is its registry status?

    Resposta

    Upload Resumption Supported — temporary. It is an informational response indicating resumable-upload support. IANA records registration on 13 November 2024, an extension on 15 September 2025, and expiry on 13 November 2026.

  99. Cartão 99

    Pergunta

    What does HTTP status code 402 mean?

    Resposta

    Payment Required — reserved for future use. IANA registers the reason phrase, but RFC 9110 does not define a general operational meaning. Treat application-specific payment uses as conventions, not universal HTTP semantics.

  100. Cartão 100

    Pergunta

    What is the current registry status of HTTP 306?

    Resposta

    Unused and reserved. RFC 9110 says 306 was defined previously, is no longer used, and remains reserved. It is not an ordinary redirect code.

  101. Cartão 101
