HTTP Status Code 100

Status code 100, also known as "Continue," is an interim response used in communication between web servers and clients (like web browsers) following the HTTP protocol. It's a signal from the server to the client saying, "Hey, everything seems good so far with your request, proceed."

Here's a breakdown of what it means:

  • Informational status code: This means it's not a final verdict on the request's success or failure, but rather an update during the process.
  • Client can continue: The server has received the initial part of the request, typically the header information, and is indicating it's ready for the client to send the rest, if there is more to send.
  • Client can ignore if finished: If the request was a simple one without additional data (like a GET request to retrieve a webpage), the client can disregard this status code because its job is already done.

Overall, it's a way to optimize communication by letting the client know it's safe to send the entire request if needed, avoiding wasted effort if the server wouldn't be able to handle it anyway.
