HTTP Status Code 205
The HTTP status code 205, "Reset Content," is used by a server to tell a web browser or other client that a request was successful, but the client should reset the current view of the document. This typically means clearing a form or refreshing the user interface (UI) without a full reload.
Here's a breakdown of the key points:
- Success: The server processed the request and everything went well.
- No Content: The server doesn't have any new information to deliver to the client.
- Reset View: The client should clear or reset the present view of the resource. This might involve clearing a form that was just submitted or refreshing the UI to reflect any changes made by the request.
In simpler terms, imagine you fill out a form on a website and click submit. The server receives the form data and processes it successfully (code 205). The server tells your browser "Hey, everything went well, but you should clear the form now." This way, the form is ready for you to enter new information.
