| Code | Title | Description | RFC |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | OK | The request has succeeded. The meaning of the success depends on the HTTP method used. | RFC 7231, Section 6.3.1 |
| 201 | Created | The request has been fulfilled and has resulted in one or more new resources being created. | RFC 7231, Section 6.3.2 |

| 204 | No Content | The server has successfully fulfilled the request and there is no additional content to send. | RFC 7231, Section 6.3.5 |
| 205 | Reset Content | The server has fulfilled the request and desires that the user agent reset the document view. | RFC 7231, Section 6.3.6 |
| 206 | Partial Content | The server is delivering only part of the resource due to a range header sent by the client. | RFC 7233, Section 4.1 |
| 207 | Multi-Status | Provides status for multiple independent operations (WebDAV). | RFC 4918, Section 13 |
| 208 | Already Reported | The members of a DAV binding have already been enumerated in a preceding part of the response (WebDAV). | RFC 5842, Section 7.1 |
