ne_status - Man Page
HTTP status structure
Synopsis
#include <ne_utils.h> typedef struct { int major_version; int minor_version; int code; int klass; char *reason_phrase; } ne_status;
Description
The ne_status type represents an HTTP response status; used in response messages giving a result of request. The major_version and minor_version fields give the protocol version supported by the server issuing the response. The code field gives the status code of the result (lying between 100 and 599 inclusive), and the klass field gives the class, which is equal to the most significant digit of the status. The reason_phrase field gives a human-readable string describing the status, which is purely informational (and optional) - any interpretation of the response status must be done using the klass and/or code fields.
There are five classes of response status code defined for HTTP/1.1 (see RFC 9110 ẞ15[1]):
- 1xx
Informational response.
- 2xx
Success: the operation was successful
- 3xx
Redirection
- 4xx
Client error: the request made was incorrect in some manner.
- 5xx
Server error
Notes
The klass field is named “klass” not “class” so that the header can be used from a C++ program, in which “class” is a reserved word.
