Question 2

HTTP Status Codes

Answer 2

A Successful request to the server results in a response, which is the message the server gives back to you, the client

1xx: You won’t see these a lot. The server is saying, “Got it! I’m working on your request.”

Question 4

2xx: (Server Response Status Code)

Answer 4

Question 5

3xx: (Server Response Status Code)

Answer 5

3xx: These mean “I can do what you want, but I have to do something else first.” You might see this if a website has changed addresses and you’re using the old one; the server might have to reroute the request before it can get you the resource you asked for.
