HTTP code 100 - Informational

Description

An error occurred on the server and it is unable to complete the request. Information about the error should be returned and displayed unless a HEAD request was performed.

  • Continue

    Indicates that request headers have been received and the client should send the request body (if any).

    This requires the client to send an Expect: 100-continue header in the request.

    If an error code is returned then the client should not send the request body.

    If the server is unable to support the Expect header then a 417 will be returned.

  • Switching Protocols

    The client has requested to switch protocols and the server has agreed.

  • Processing

    Indicates the server is processing the request but has not yet finished.

  • Early Hints

    Return response headers before final HTTP response.

  • Checkpoint

    Used in resumable requests.
