1. In your own words, describe what each group of status code represents:
100’s = informational status codes. [using different protocol , request failure before even sending the body]
200’s = the success codes.[request accepted, if its an async func then that mean the request met all the requirements and not necessarily successful ]
300’s = redirection codes.[resources aren’t available ]
400’s = client error codes.[invalid request from the client’s end]
500’s =server error codes.[overwhelmed servers or unreachable proxies.]
2. What is a status code 202?
202 Accepted is used for asynchronous processing. This code tells the client that the request was valid, but its processing will finish sometime in the future.
3. What is a status code 308?
308 Permanent Redirect - This tells the client to use another URL to access the resource and not use the current URL anymore.
4. What code would you use if an update didn’t return data to a client?
204 No Content - A proper code for updates that don’t return data to the client, for example when just saving a currently edited document.
5. What code would you use if a resource used to exist but no longer does?
410 Gone - This is like 404 but we know that the resource existed in the past, but it got deleted or somehow moved, and we don’t know where.
6. What is the ‘Forbidden’ status code?
403 Forbidden - The client has authorized or doesn’t need to authorize itself, but still has no permissions to access the resource.
7. What is the difference between PUT and PATCH?
PUT will update the whole document but PATCH will update that specific document detail.
