HTTP 424 Failed Dependency

What is HTTP 424 Failed Dependency?

The 424 (Failed Dependency) status code indicates that the method could not be performed on the resource because the requested action depended on another action that failed. This is used in WebDAV batch operations where one sub-request depends on another.

Common Use Cases

• Failed WebDAV batch operations
• Transactional operation failures
