HTTP Status Code 201
Status code 201, "Created", is a success code used in communication between web servers and clients. It indicates that the client's request was successful, and the specific action resulted in the creation of a new resource.
Here's a breakdown of what a 201 status code means:
- Success: The overall request was processed without errors.
- New Resource: The client's request resulted in a new resource being created on the server. This resource could be a new file, a user account, a product in a database, or anything else the server manages.
- Location: The server usually includes a "Location" header in the response that specifies the URL of the newly created resource. This allows the client to interact with the new resource if necessary.
Typically, a 201 response code is used in response to a POST request. POST requests are often used for submitting data to a server with the intention of creating something new.
