HTTP Status Codes

In the communication between HTTP clients and UTM as HTTP server the server may return error information via the status code of the HTTP protocol.

Some possible values of the status codes are defined in RFC7231 "HTTP 1.1 - Semantics and Content". The specific description of the status codes when used by openUTM is contained int the reason phrase of an HTTP response – see columne „UTM reason phrase“ in the table below.

 

Please find the description of the reaon phrases set by openUTM in the following table.
