HTTP Status Code 207
The status code 207, also known as "Multi-Status", is used to indicate the outcome of multiple operations that were performed in a single request. It's primarily used in the WebDAV protocol, which is an extension of HTTP that allows for collaborative editing and management of files on remote servers.
Here's a breakdown of what a 207 status code means:
- Multiple operations: The server processed a request that involved multiple actions on different resources.
- Individual results: The 207 code itself doesn't tell you if all the operations were successful or not. You need to check the response body for the status of each individual operation.
- Response format: The body of the response containing the individual status codes is usually formatted in XML.
Here are some common scenarios where you might encounter a 207 status code:
- Deleting multiple files: If you send a request to delete a few files at once, the server might respond with a 207 code. The response body would then detail if each file was deleted successfully or not.
- Uploading a collection of photos: Uploading multiple photos to a web album might result in a 207 code, with the response containing the status for each uploaded photo.
Overall, the 207 status code is an informative way for servers to communicate the outcome of multiple operations in a single request. By examining the response body, you can determine the success or failure of each individual operation.
