HTTP 102 Processing

What is HTTP 102 Processing?

The 102 (Processing) status code is an informational response used in Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV). It indicates that the server has received and is processing the request, but no response is available yet. This prevents the client from timing out while the server completes a long-running request.

Common Use Cases

• Long-running WebDAV operations
• Preventing timeout for complex server-side processing

// Pseudocode for handling 102 in an HTTP client
$response = $client->request('PROPFIND', '/webdav/large-folder');
if ($response->getStatusCode() === 102) {
    // Still processing, wait for the final response
    $finalResponse = $client->wait();
}
