HTTP Status Code 202
The status code 202, also written as "202 Accepted", is used in communication between web servers and clients (like your web browser) to indicate that a request has been received and understood, but the process isn't finished yet. In other words, the server hasn't completed the action you requested.
This typically happens when the request might take a long time to complete, such as uploading a large file or processing a complex task. The server lets you know that it has accepted the request and will work on it, but it doesn't necessarily mean the request will be successful.
Here are some key things to know about status code 202:
- The server may queue the request for later processing.
- The client (your browser) typically needs to check back with the server to see if the request is finished. The 202 response itself doesn't provide any information on when the request will be completed.
- This status code is commonly used for asynchronous tasks, where the client doesn't need to wait for the server to finish before continuing with other things.
