a 1xx response to an HTTP/1.0 client except under experimental conditions. A client MUST be prepared to accept one or more 1xx status responses prior to a regular http 404 response, even if the client does not expect a 100 (Continue) status message. Unexpected 1xx status responses MAY be ignored by a user agent. Proxies MUST forward 1xx responses, unless the connection between the proxy and its client has been closed, or unless the proxy itself requested the generation of the 1xx response. (For example, if a proxy 204 no content rest adds a "Expect: 100-continue" field when it forwards a request, then it need not forward the corresponding 100 (Continue) response(s).) 10.1.1 100 Continue The client SHOULD continue with its request. This interim response is used to inform the client that the initial part of the request has been received and has not yet been rejected by the server. The client SHOULD continue by sending the remainder of the request or, if the request has already been completed, ignore this response. The server MUST send a final response after the request has been completed. See section 8.2.3 for detailed discussion of the use and handling of this status code. 10.1.2 101 Switching Protocols The server understands and is willing to comply with the client's request, via the Upgrade message header field (section 14.42), for a change in the application protocol being used on this connection. The server will switch protocols to those defined by the response's Upgrade header field immediately after the empty line which terminates the 101 response. The protocol SHOULD b

need to return an entity-body, and might want to return updated metainformation. The response MAY include new or updated metainformation in the form of https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html entity-headers, which if present, SHOULD be associated with the requested variant.The 204 response MUST NOT include a message-body, and thus is always terminated by the first empty line after the header fields. What it Means If the client is a user agent, it SHOULD NOT change its http://100pulse.com/http-statuscode/204.jsp document view from that which caused the request to be sent. This response is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take place without causing a change to the user agent's active document view, although any new or updated metainformation SHOULD be applied to the document currently in the user agent's active view.

building non-trivial REST APIs. In order to be as supportive of the client as possible, a REST API should not return 204 (No Content) responses. From the service's perspective, a 204 (No Content) response http://blog.ploeh.dk/2013/04/30/rest-lesson-learned-avoid-204-responses/ may be a perfectly valid response to a POST, PUT or DELETE request. Particularly, for a DELETE request it seems very appropriate, because what else can you say? However, from the perspective of a proper HATEOAS-aware client, http://www.restapitutorial.com/httpstatuscodes.html a 204 response is problematic because there are no links to follow. When hypermedia acts as the engine of application state, when there are no links, there's no state. In other words, a 204 response throws http error away all application state. If a client encounters a 204 response, it can either give up, go to the entry point of the API, or go back to the previous resource it visited. Neither option is particularly good. Giving up is not a good option if there's still work to do. Essentially, this is equivalent to a crashing client. Going to the entry point of the API may allow the client to move on, http error 204 doing what it was doing, but state may still be lost. Going back (the equivalent of using your browser's back button) may be the best option, but has a couple of problems: First, if the client just did a DELETE, the previous resource in the history may now be gone (it was just deleted). The client would have to go back twice to arrive at a proper resource. Second, while your browser has built-in history, a programmatic HTTP client probably hasn't. You could add that feature to your client, but it would require more work. Once more, it would require the client to maintain state, which means that you'd be moving state from hypermedia to the client. It's just not a HATEOAS-compliant approach. A good REST API should make it easy to be a client. While this is only a variation of Postel's law, I also like to think of this in terms or courtesy. The service has a lot of information available to it, so it might as well be courteous and help the client by sharing appropriate pieces of information. Instead of a 204 (No Content) response, tell the client what it can do now. Responding to POST requests An HTTP POST request often represents some sort of Command - that is: an intent to pr
