The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypertext information systems. HTTP has been in use by the World Wide Web global information initiative since 1990. This document is Part 2 of the seven-part specification that defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1" and, taken together, obsoletes RFC 2616.¶
Part 2 defines the semantics of HTTP messages as expressed by request methods, request header fields, response status codes, and response header fields.¶

The changes in this draft are summarized in Appendix C.19.¶
This document defines HTTP/1.1 request and response semantics. Each HTTP message, as defined in [Part1], is in the form of either a request or a response. An HTTP server listens on a connection for HTTP requests and responds to each request, in the order received on that connection, with one or more HTTP response messages. This document defines the commonly agreed upon semantics of the HTTP uniform interface, the intentions defined by each request method, and the various response messages that might be expected as a result of applying that method to the target resource.¶
This document is currently disorganized in order to minimize the changes between drafts and enable reviewers to see the smaller errata changes. A future draft will reorganize the sections to better reflect the content. In particular, the sections will be ordered according to the typical processing of an HTTP request message (after message parsing): resource mapping, methods, request modifying header fields, response status, status modifying header fields, and resource metadata. The current mess reflects how widely dispersed these topics and associated requirements had become in [RFC2616].¶
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].¶
This document defines conformance criteria for several roles in HTTP communication, including Senders, Recipients, Clients, Servers, User-Agents, Origin Servers, Intermediaries, Proxies and Gateways. See Section 2 of [Part1] for definitions of these terms.¶
An implementation is considered conformant if it complies with all of the requirements associated with its role(s). Note that SHOULD-level requirements are relevant here, unless one of the documented exceptions is applicable.¶
This document also uses ABNF to define valid protocol elements (Section 1.2). In addition to the prose requirements placed upon them, Senders MUST NOT generate protocol elements that are invalid.¶
Unless noted otherwise, Recipients MAY take steps to recover a usable protocol element from an invalid construct. However, HTTP does not define specific error handling mechanisms, except in cases where it has direct impact on security. This is because different uses of the protocol require different error handling strategies; for example, a Web browser may wish to transparently recover from a response where the Location header field doesn't parse according to the ABNF, whereby in a systems control protocol using HTTP, this type of error recovery could lead to dangerous consequences.¶
This specification uses the ABNF syntax defined in Section 1.2 of [Part1] (which extends the syntax defined in [RFC5234] with a list rule). Appendix B shows the collected ABNF, with the list rule expanded.¶
The following core rules are included by reference, as defined in [RFC5234], Appendix B.1: ALPHA (letters), CR (carriage return), CRLF (CR LF), CTL (controls), DIGIT (decimal 0-9), DQUOTE (double quote), HEXDIG (hexadecimal 0-9/A-F/a-f), HTAB (horizontal tab), LF (line feed), OCTET (any 8-bit sequence of data), SP (space), and VCHAR (any visible US-ASCII character).¶
BWS = <BWS, defined in [Part1], Section 1.2.2> OWS = <OWS, defined in [Part1], Section 1.2.2> RWS = <RWS, defined in [Part1], Section 1.2.2> obs-text = <obs-text, defined in [Part1], Section 1.2.2> quoted-string = <quoted-string, defined in [Part1], Section 3.2.3> token = <token, defined in [Part1], Section 3.2.3>
The ABNF rules below are defined in other parts:¶
absolute-URI = <absolute-URI, defined in [Part1], Section 2.7> comment = <comment, defined in [Part1], Section 3.2> partial-URI = <partial-URI, defined in [Part1], Section 2.7> product = <product, defined in [Part1], Section 5.2> URI-reference = <URI-reference, defined in [Part1], Section 2.7>
The Method token indicates the request method to be performed on the target resource (Section 4.3 of [Part1]). The method is case-sensitive.¶
The list of methods allowed by a resource can be specified in an Allow header field (Section 9.1). The status code of the response always notifies the client whether a method is currently allowed on a resource, since the set of allowed methods can change dynamically. An origin server SHOULD respond with the status code 405 (Method Not Allowed) if the method is known by the origin server but not allowed for the resource, and 501 (Not Implemented) if the method is unrecognized or not implemented by the origin server. The methods GET and HEAD MUST be supported by all general-purpose servers. All other methods are OPTIONAL; however, if the above methods are implemented, they MUST be implemented with the same semantics as those specified in Section 6.¶

|Section 6.2
|Section 6.3
|Section 6.4
|Section 6.5
|Section 6.6
|Section 6.7
|Section 6.8
|Section 6.9
Note that this list is not exhaustive — it does not include request methods defined in other specifications.¶
The HTTP Method Registry defines the name space for the Method token in the Request line of an HTTP request.¶
Registrations MUST include the following fields: ¶
Values to be added to this name space are subject to IETF review ([RFC5226], Section 4.1).¶
The registry itself is maintained at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-methods>.¶
When it is necessary to express new semantics for a HTTP request that aren't specific to a single application or media type, and currently defined methods are inadequate, it may be appropriate to register a new method.¶
HTTP methods are generic; that is, they are potentially applicable to any resource, not just one particular media type, "type" of resource, or application. As such, it is preferred that new HTTP methods be registered in a document that isn't specific to a single application, so that this is clear.¶
Due to the parsing rules defined in Section 3.3 of [Part1], definitions of HTTP methods cannot prohibit the presence of a message-body on either the request or the response message (with responses to HEAD requests being the single exception). Definitions of new methods cannot change this rule, but they can specify that only zero-length bodies (as opposed to absent bodies) are allowed.¶
New method definitions need to indicate whether they are safe (Section 6.1.1), what semantics (if any) the request body has, and whether they are idempotent (Section 6.1.2). They also need to state whether they can be cached ([Part6]); in particular what conditions a cache may store the response, and under what conditions such a stored response may be used to satisfy a subsequent request.¶
Header fields are key value pairs that can be used to communicate data about the message, its payload, the target resource, or about the connection itself (i.e., control data). See Section 3.2 of [Part1] for a general definition of their syntax.¶
The requirements for header field names are defined in Section 4.1 of [RFC3864]. Authors of specifications defining new fields are advised to keep the name as short as practical, and not to prefix them with "X-" if they are to be registered (either immediately or in the future).¶
New header field values typically have their syntax defined using ABNF ([RFC5234]), using the extensions defined in Section 1.2.1 of [Part1] as necessary, and are usually constrained to the range of ASCII characters. Header fields needing a greater range of characters can use an encoding such as the one defined in [RFC5987].¶
Because commas (",") are used as a generic delimiter between field-values, they need to be treated with care if they are allowed in the field-value's payload. Typically, components that might contain a comma are protected with double-quotes using the quoted-string ABNF production (Section 3.2.3 of [Part1]).¶
For example, a textual date and a URI (either of which might contain a comma) could be safely carried in field-values like these:¶
Example-URI-Field: "http://example.com/a.html,foo", "http://without-a-comma.example.com/" Example-Date-Field: "Sat, 04 May 1996", "Wed, 14 Sep 2005"
Note that double quote delimiters almost always are used with the quoted-string production; using a different syntax inside double quotes will likely cause unnecessary confusion.¶
Many header fields use a format including (case-insensitively) named parameters (for instance, Content-Type, defined in Section 6.8 of [Part3]). Allowing both unquoted (token) and quoted (quoted-string) syntax for the parameter value enables recipients to use existing parser components. When allowing both forms, the meaning of a parameter value ought to be independent of the syntax used for it (for an example, see the notes on parameter handling for media types in Section 2.3 of [Part3]).¶
Authors of specifications defining new header fields are advised to consider documenting: ¶
Whether the field is a single value, or whether it can be a list (delimited by commas; see Section 3.2 of [Part1]).
If it does not use the list syntax, document how to treat messages where the header field occurs multiple times (a sensible default would be to ignore the header field, but this might not always be the right choice).
Note that intermediaries and software libraries might combine multiple header field instances into a single one, despite the header field not allowing this. A robust format enables recipients to discover these situations (good example: "Content-Type", as the comma can only appear inside quoted strings; bad example: "Location", as a comma can occur inside a URI).
Under what conditions the header field can be used; e.g., only in responses or requests, in all messages, only on responses to a particular request method.
Whether it is appropriate to list the field-name in the Connection header (i.e., if the header is to be hop-by-hop, see Section 8.1 of [Part1]).
Under what conditions intermediaries are allowed to modify the header field's value, insert or delete it.
How the header might interact with caching (see [Part6]).
Whether the header field is useful or allowable in trailers (see Section 5.1.1 of [Part1]).
Whether the header field should be preserved across redirects.
The request header fields allow the client to pass additional information about the request, and about the client itself, to the server. These fields act as request modifiers, with semantics equivalent to the parameters on a programming language method invocation.¶

The Status-Code element is a 3-digit integer result code of the attempt to understand and satisfy the request.¶
The Reason-Phrase is intended to give a short textual description of the Status-Code and is intended for a human user. The client does not need to examine or display the Reason-Phrase.¶
Status-Code = 3DIGIT Reason-Phrase = *( HTAB / SP / VCHAR / obs-text )
HTTP status codes are extensible. HTTP applications are not required to understand the meaning of all registered status codes, though such understanding is obviously desirable. However, applications MUST understand the class of any status code, as indicated by the first digit, and treat any unrecognized response as being equivalent to the x00 status code of that class, with the exception that an unrecognized response MUST NOT be cached. For example, if an unrecognized status code of 431 is received by the client, it can safely assume that there was something wrong with its request and treat the response as if it had received a 400 status code. In such cases, user agents SHOULD present to the user the representation enclosed with the response, since that representation is likely to include human-readable information which will explain the unusual status.¶
The status codes listed below are defined in Section 7 of this specification, Section 4 of [Part4], Section 3 of [Part5], and Section 3 of [Part7]. The reason phrases listed here are only recommendations — they can be replaced by local equivalents without affecting the protocol.¶

The HTTP Status Code Registry defines the name space for the Status-Code token in the Status-Line of an HTTP response.¶
Values to be added to this name space are subject to IETF review ([RFC5226], Section 4.1).¶
The registry itself is maintained at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes>.¶
When it is necessary to express new semantics for a HTTP response that aren't specific to a single application or media type, and currently defined status codes are inadequate, a new status code can be registered.¶
HTTP status codes are generic; that is, they are potentially applicable to any resource, not just one particular media type, "type" of resource, or application. As such, it is preferred that new HTTP status codes be registered in a document that isn't specific to a single application, so that this is clear.¶
Definitions of new HTTP status codes typically explain the request conditions that produce a response containing the status code (e.g., combinations of request headers and/or method(s)), along with any interactions with response headers (e.g., those that are required, those that modify the semantics of the response).¶
New HTTP status codes are required to fall under one of the categories defined in Section 7. To allow existing parsers to properly handle them, new status codes cannot disallow a response body, although they can mandate a zero-length response body. They can require the presence of one or more particular HTTP response header(s).¶
Likewise, their definitions can specify that caches are allowed to use heuristics to determine their freshness (see [Part6]; by default, it is not allowed), and can define how to determine the resource which they carry a representation for (see Section 5.1; by default, it is anonymous).¶
Request and Response messages MAY transfer a representation if not otherwise restricted by the request method or response status code. A representation consists of metadata (representation header fields) and data (representation body). When a complete or partial representation is enclosed in an HTTP message, it is referred to as the payload of the message. HTTP representations are defined in [Part3].¶
A representation body is only present in a message when a message-body is present, as described in Section 3.3 of [Part1]. The representation body is obtained from the message-body by decoding any Transfer-Encoding that might have been applied to ensure safe and proper transfer of the message.¶
It is sometimes necessary to determine an identifier for the resource associated with a representation.¶
An HTTP request representation, when present, is always associated with an anonymous (i.e., unidentified) resource.¶
In the common case, an HTTP response is a representation of the target resource (see Section 4.3 of [Part1]). However, this is not always the case. To determine the URI of the resource a response is associated with, the following rules are used (with the first applicable one being selected):¶
[TODO-req-uri: The comparison function is going to have to be defined somewhere, because we already need to compare URIs for things like cache invalidation.] ¶
The set of common request methods for HTTP/1.1 is defined below. Although this set can be expanded, additional methods cannot be assumed to share the same semantics for separately extended clients and servers.¶
Implementors need to be aware that the software represents the user in their interactions over the Internet, and need to allow the user to be aware of any actions they take which might have an unexpected significance to themselves or others.¶
In particular, the convention has been established that the GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, and TRACE request methods SHOULD NOT have the significance of taking an action other than retrieval. These request methods ought to be considered "safe". This allows user agents to represent other methods, such as POST, PUT and DELETE, in a special way, so that the user is made aware of the fact that a possibly unsafe action is being requested.¶
Naturally, it is not possible to ensure that the server does not generate side-effects as a result of performing a GET request; in fact, some dynamic resources consider that a feature. The important distinction here is that the user did not request the side-effects, so therefore cannot be held accountable for them.¶
Request methods can also have the property of "idempotence" in that, aside from error or expiration issues, the intended effect of multiple identical requests is the same as for a single request. PUT, DELETE, and all safe request methods are idempotent. It is important to note that idempotence refers only to changes requested by the client: a server is free to change its state due to multiple requests for the purpose of tracking those requests, versioning of results, etc.¶
The OPTIONS method requests information about the communication options available on the request/response chain identified by the effective request URI. This method allows a client to determine the options and/or requirements associated with a resource, or the capabilities of a server, without implying a resource action or initiating a resource retrieval.¶
Responses to the OPTIONS method are not cacheable.¶
If the OPTIONS request includes a message-body (as indicated by the presence of Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding), then the media type MUST be indicated by a Content-Type field. Although this specification does not define any use for such a body, future extensions to HTTP might use the OPTIONS body to make more detailed queries on the server.¶
If the request-target is an asterisk ("*"), the OPTIONS request is intended to apply to the server in general rather than to a specific resource. Since a server's communication options typically depend on the resource, the "*" request is only useful as a "ping" or "no-op" type of method; it does nothing beyond allowing the client to test the capabilities of the server. For example, this can be used to test a proxy for HTTP/1.1 compliance (or lack thereof).¶
If the request-target is not an asterisk, the OPTIONS request applies only to the options that are available when communicating with that resource.¶
A 200 response SHOULD include any header fields that indicate optional features implemented by the server and applicable to that resource (e.g., Allow), possibly including extensions not defined by this specification. The response body, if any, SHOULD also include information about the communication options. The format for such a body is not defined by this specification, but might be defined by future extensions to HTTP. Content negotiation MAY be used to select the appropriate response format. If no response body is included, the response MUST include a Content-Length field with a field-value of "0".¶
The Max-Forwards header field MAY be used to target a specific proxy in the request chain (see Section 9.6). If no Max-Forwards field is present in the request, then the forwarded request MUST NOT include a Max-Forwards field.¶
The GET method requests transfer of a current representation of the target resource.¶
If the target resource is a data-producing process, it is the produced data which shall be returned as the representation in the response and not the source text of the process, unless that text happens to be the output of the process.¶
The semantics of the GET method change to a "conditional GET" if the request message includes an If-Modified-Since, If-Unmodified-Since, If-Match, If-None-Match, or If-Range header field. A conditional GET requests that the representation be transferred only under the circumstances described by the conditional header field(s). The conditional GET request is intended to reduce unnecessary network usage by allowing cached representations to be refreshed without requiring multiple requests or transferring data already held by the client.¶
The semantics of the GET method change to a "partial GET" if the request message includes a Range header field. A partial GET requests that only part of the representation be transferred, as described in Section 5.4 of [Part5]. The partial GET request is intended to reduce unnecessary network usage by allowing partially-retrieved representations to be completed without transferring data already held by the client.¶
Bodies on GET requests have no defined semantics. Note that sending a body on a GET request might cause some existing implementations to reject the request.¶
The response to a GET request is cacheable and MAY be used to satisfy subsequent GET and HEAD requests (see [Part6]).¶
See Section 11.2 for security considerations when used for forms.¶
The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT return a message-body in the response. The metadata contained in the HTTP header fields in response to a HEAD request SHOULD be identical to the information sent in response to a GET request. This method can be used for obtaining metadata about the representation implied by the request without transferring the representation body. This method is often used for testing hypertext links for validity, accessibility, and recent modification.¶
The response to a HEAD request is cacheable and MAY be used to satisfy a subsequent HEAD request; see [Part6]. It also MAY be used to update a previously cached representation from that resource; if the new field values indicate that the cached representation differs from the current representation (as would be indicated by a change in Content-Length, ETag or Last-Modified), then the cache MUST treat the cache entry as stale.¶
Bodies on HEAD requests have no defined semantics. Note that sending a body on a HEAD request might cause some existing implementations to reject the request.¶
The POST method requests that the origin server accept the representation enclosed in the request as data to be processed by the target resource. POST is designed to allow a uniform method to cover the following functions: ¶
The actual function performed by the POST method is determined by the server and is usually dependent on the effective request URI.¶
The action performed by the POST method might not result in a resource that can be identified by a URI. In this case, either 200 (OK) or 204 (No Content) is the appropriate response status code, depending on whether or not the response includes a representation that describes the result.¶
If a resource has been created on the origin server, the response SHOULD be 201 (Created) and contain a representation which describes the status of the request and refers to the new resource, and a Location header field (see Section 9.5).¶
Responses to POST requests are only cacheable when they include explicit freshness information (see Section 2.3.1 of [Part6]). A cached POST response with a Content-Location header field (see Section 6.7 of [Part3]) whose value is the effective Request URI MAY be used to satisfy subsequent GET and HEAD requests.¶
Note that POST caching is not widely implemented. However, the 303 (See Other) response can be used to direct the user agent to retrieve a cacheable resource.¶
The PUT method requests that the state of the target resource be created or replaced with the state defined by the representation enclosed in the request message payload. A successful PUT of a given representation would suggest that a subsequent GET on that same target resource will result in an equivalent representation being returned in a 200 (OK) response. However, there is no guarantee that such a state change will be observable, since the target resource might be acted upon by other user agents in parallel, or might be subject to dynamic processing by the origin server, before any subsequent GET is received. A successful response only implies that the user agent's intent was achieved at the time of its processing by the origin server.¶
If the target resource does not have a current representation and the PUT successfully creates one, then the origin server MUST inform the user agent by sending a 201 (Created) response. If the target resource does have a current representation and that representation is successfully modified in accordance with the state of the enclosed representation, then either a 200 (OK) or 204 (No Content) response SHOULD be sent to indicate successful completion of the request.¶
Unrecognized header fields SHOULD be ignored (i.e., not saved as part of the resource state).¶
An origin server SHOULD verify that the PUT representation is consistent with any constraints which the server has for the target resource that cannot or will not be changed by the PUT. This is particularly important when the origin server uses internal configuration information related to the URI in order to set the values for representation metadata on GET responses. When a PUT representation is inconsistent with the target resource, the origin server SHOULD either make them consistent, by transforming the representation or changing the resource configuration, or respond with an appropriate error message containing sufficient information to explain why the representation is unsuitable. The 409 (Conflict) or 415 (Unsupported Media Type) status codes are suggested, with the latter being specific to constraints on Content-Type values.¶
For example, if the target resource is configured to always have a Content-Type of "text/html" and the representation being PUT has a Content-Type of "image/jpeg", then the origin server SHOULD do one of: (a) reconfigure the target resource to reflect the new media type; (b) transform the PUT representation to a format consistent with that of the resource before saving it as the new resource state; or, (c) reject the request with a 415 response indicating that the target resource is limited to "text/html", perhaps including a link to a different resource that would be a suitable target for the new representation.¶
HTTP does not define exactly how a PUT method affects the state of an origin server beyond what can be expressed by the intent of the user agent request and the semantics of the origin server response. It does not define what a resource might be, in any sense of that word, beyond the interface provided via HTTP. It does not define how resource state is "stored", nor how such storage might change as a result of a change in resource state, nor how the origin server translates resource state into representations. Generally speaking, all implementation details behind the resource interface are intentionally hidden by the server.¶
The fundamental difference between the POST and PUT methods is highlighted by the different intent for the target resource. The target resource in a POST request is intended to handle the enclosed representation as a data-accepting process, such as for a gateway to some other protocol or a document that accepts annotations. In contrast, the target resource in a PUT request is intended to take the enclosed representation as a new or replacement value. Hence, the intent of PUT is idempotent and visible to intermediaries, even though the exact effect is only known by the origin server.¶
Proper interpretation of a PUT request presumes that the user agent knows what target resource is desired. A service that is intended to select a proper URI on behalf of the client, after receiving a state-changing request, SHOULD be implemented using the POST method rather than PUT. If the origin server will not make the requested PUT state change to the target resource and instead wishes to have it applied to a different resource, such as when the resource has been moved to a different URI, then the origin server MUST send a 301 (Moved Permanently) response; the user agent MAY then make its own decision regarding whether or not to redirect the request.¶
A PUT request applied to the target resource MAY have side-effects on other resources. For example, an article might have a URI for identifying "the current version" (a resource) which is separate from the URIs identifying each particular version (different resources that at one point shared the same state as the current version resource). A successful PUT request on "the current version" URI might therefore create a new version resource in addition to changing the state of the target resource, and might also cause links to be added between the related resources.¶
An origin server SHOULD reject any PUT request that contains a Content-Range header field, since it might be misinterpreted as partial content (or might be partial content that is being mistakenly PUT as a full representation). Partial content updates are possible by targeting a separately identified resource with state that overlaps a portion of the larger resource, or by using a different method that has been specifically defined for partial updates (for example, the PATCH method defined in [RFC5789]).¶
Responses to the PUT method are not cacheable. If a PUT request passes through a cache that has one or more stored responses for the effective request URI, those stored responses will be invalidated (see Section 2.5 of [Part6]).¶
The DELETE method requests that the origin server delete the target resource. This method MAY be overridden by human intervention (or other means) on the origin server. The client cannot be guaranteed that the operation has been carried out, even if the status code returned from the origin server indicates that the action has been completed successfully. However, the server SHOULD NOT indicate success unless, at the time the response is given, it intends to delete the resource or move it to an inaccessible location.¶
A successful response SHOULD be 200 (OK) if the response includes an representation describing the status, 202 (Accepted) if the action has not yet been enacted, or 204 (No Content) if the action has been enacted but the response does not include a representation.¶
Bodies on DELETE requests have no defined semantics. Note that sending a body on a DELETE request might cause some existing implementations to reject the request.¶
Responses to the DELETE method are not cacheable. If a DELETE request passes through a cache that has one or more stored responses for the effective request URI, those stored responses will be invalidated (see Section 2.5 of [Part6]).¶
The TRACE method requests a remote, application-layer loop-back of the request message. The final recipient of the request SHOULD reflect the message received back to the client as the message-body of a 200 (OK) response. The final recipient is either the origin server or the first proxy to receive a Max-Forwards value of zero (0) in the request (see Section 9.6). A TRACE request MUST NOT include a message-body.¶
TRACE allows the client to see what is being received at the other end of the request chain and use that data for testing or diagnostic information. The value of the Via header field (Section 8.8 of [Part1]) is of particular interest, since it acts as a trace of the request chain. Use of the Max-Forwards header field allows the client to limit the length of the request chain, which is useful for testing a chain of proxies forwarding messages in an infinite loop.¶
If the request is valid, the response SHOULD have a Content-Type of "message/http" (see Section 9.3.1 of [Part1]) and contain a message-body that encloses a copy of the entire request message. Responses to the TRACE method are not cacheable.¶
The CONNECT method requests that the proxy establish a tunnel to the request-target and then restrict its behavior to blind forwarding of packets until the connection is closed.¶
When using CONNECT, the request-target MUST use the authority form (Section 22.214.171.124 of [Part1]); i.e., the request-target consists of only the host name and port number of the tunnel destination, separated by a colon. For example,¶
CONNECT server.example.com:80 HTTP/1.1 Host: server.example.com:80
Other HTTP mechanisms can be used normally with the CONNECT method — except end-to-end protocol Upgrade requests, since the tunnel must be established first.¶
For example, proxy authentication might be used to establish the authority to create a tunnel:¶
CONNECT server.example.com:80 HTTP/1.1 Host: server.example.com:80 Proxy-Authorization: basic aGVsbG86d29ybGQ=
Bodies on CONNECT requests have no defined semantics. Note that sending a body on a CONNECT request might cause some existing implementations to reject the request.¶
Like any other pipelined HTTP/1.1 request, data to be tunnel may be sent immediately after the blank line. The usual caveats also apply: data may be discarded if the eventual response is negative, and the connection may be reset with no response if more than one TCP segment is outstanding.¶
Any successful (2xx) response to a CONNECT request indicates that the proxy has established a connection to the requested host and port, and has switched to tunneling the current connection to that server connection.¶
It may be the case that the proxy itself can only reach the requested origin server through another proxy. In this case, the first proxy SHOULD make a CONNECT request of that next proxy, requesting a tunnel to the authority. A proxy MUST NOT respond with any 2xx status code unless it has either a direct or tunnel connection established to the authority.¶
An origin server which receives a CONNECT request for itself MAY respond with a 2xx status code to indicate that a connection is established.¶
If at any point either one of the peers gets disconnected, any outstanding data that came from that peer will be passed to the other one, and after that also the other connection will be terminated by the proxy. If there is outstanding data to that peer undelivered, that data will be discarded.¶
The first digit of the Status-Code defines the class of response. The last two digits do not have any categorization role. There are 5 values for the first digit: ¶
Each Status-Code is described below, including any metadata required in the response.¶
This class of status code indicates a provisional response, consisting only of the Status-Line and optional header fields, and is terminated by an empty line. There are no required header fields for this class of status code. Since HTTP/1.0 did not define any 1xx status codes, servers MUST NOT send 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 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 adds a "Expect: 100-continue" field when it forwards a request, then it need not forward the corresponding 100 (Continue) response(s).)¶
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 6.2.3 of [Part1] for detailed discussion of the use and handling of this status code.¶
The server understands and is willing to comply with the client's request, via the Upgrade message header field (Section 8.7 of [Part1]), 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 be switched only when it is advantageous to do so. For example, switching to a newer version of HTTP is advantageous over older versions, and switching to a real-time, synchronous protocol might be advantageous when delivering resources that use such features.¶
This class of status code indicates that the client's request was successfully received, understood, and accepted.¶
The request has succeeded. The payload returned with the response is dependent on the method used in the request, for example: ¶
Caches MAY use a heuristic (see Section 22.214.171.124 of [Part6]) to determine freshness for 200 responses.¶
The request has been fulfilled and has resulted in a new resource being created. The newly created resource can be referenced by the URI(s) returned in the payload of the response, with the most specific URI for the resource given by a Location header field. The response SHOULD include a payload containing a list of resource characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The payload format is specified by the media type given in the Content-Type header field. The origin server MUST create the resource before returning the 201 status code. If the action cannot be carried out immediately, the server SHOULD respond with 202 (Accepted) response instead.¶
A 201 response MAY contain an ETag response header field indicating the current value of the entity-tag for the representation of the resource just created (see Section 2.3 of [Part4]).¶
The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not eventually be acted upon, as it might be disallowed when processing actually takes place. There is no facility for re-sending a status code from an asynchronous operation such as this.¶
The 202 response is intentionally non-committal. Its purpose is to allow a server to accept a request for some other process (perhaps a batch-oriented process that is only run once per day) without requiring that the user agent's connection to the server persist until the process is completed. The representation returned with this response SHOULD include an indication of the request's current status and either a pointer to a status monitor or some estimate of when the user can expect the request to be fulfilled.¶
The representation in the response has been transformed or otherwise modified by a transforming proxy (Section 2.4 of [Part1]). Note that the behaviour of transforming intermediaries is controlled by the no-transform Cache-Control directive (Section 3.2 of [Part6]).¶
This status code is only appropriate when the response status code would have been 200 (OK) otherwise. When the status code before transformation would have been different, the 214 Transformation Applied warn-code (Section 3.6 of [Part6]) is appropriate.¶
Caches MAY use a heuristic (see Section 220.127.116.11 of [Part6]) to determine freshness for 203 responses.¶
The 204 (No Content) status code indicates that the server has successfully fulfilled the request and that there is no additional content to return in the response payload body. Metadata in the response header fields refer to the target resource and its current representation after the requested action.¶
For example, if a 204 status code is received in response to a PUT request and the response contains an ETag header field, then the PUT was successful and the ETag field-value contains the entity-tag for the new representation of that target resource.¶
The 204 response allows a server to indicate that the action has been successfully applied to the target resource while implying that the user agent SHOULD NOT traverse away from its current "document view" (if any). The server assumes that the user agent will provide some indication of the success to its user, in accord with its own interface, and apply any new or updated metadata in the response to the active representation.¶
For example, a 204 status code is commonly used with document editing interfaces corresponding to a "save" action, such that the document being saved remains available to the user for editing. It is also frequently used with interfaces that expect automated data transfers to be prevalent, such as within distributed version control systems.¶
The 204 response MUST NOT include a message-body, and thus is always terminated by the first empty line after the header fields.¶
The server has fulfilled the request and the user agent SHOULD reset the document view which caused the request to be sent. This response is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take place via user input, followed by a clearing of the form in which the input is given so that the user can easily initiate another input action.¶
The message-body included with the response MUST be empty. Note that receivers still need to parse the response according to the algorithm defined in Section 3.3 of [Part1].¶
The server has fulfilled the partial GET request for the resource and the enclosed payload is a partial representation as defined in Section 3.1 of [Part5].¶
Caches MAY use a heuristic (see Section 18.104.22.168 of [Part6]) to determine freshness for 206 responses.¶
This class of status code indicates that further action needs to be taken by the user agent in order to fulfill the request. If the required action involves a subsequent HTTP request, it MAY be carried out by the user agent without interaction with the user if and only if the method used in the second request is known to be "safe", as defined in Section 6.1.1.¶
There are several types of redirects: ¶
Redirects of the request to another URI, either temporarily or permanently. The new URI is specified in the Location header field. In this specification, the status codes 301 (Moved Permanently), 302 (Found), and 307 (Temporary Redirect) fall under this category.
Redirection to a new location that represents an indirect response to the request, such as the result of a POST operation to be retrieved with a subsequent GET request. This is status code 303 (See Other).
Redirection offering a choice of matching resources for use by agent-driven content negotiation (Section 5.2 of [Part3]). This is status code 300 (Multiple Choices).
Other kinds of redirection, such as to a cached result (status code 304 (Not Modified)).
A Location header field on a 3xx response indicates that a client MAY automatically redirect to the URI provided; see Section 9.5.¶
Clients SHOULD detect and intervene in cyclical redirections (i.e., "infinite" redirection loops).¶
The target resource has more than one representation, each with its own specific location, and agent-driven negotiation information (Section 5 of [Part3]) is being provided so that the user (or user agent) can select a preferred representation by redirecting its request to that location.¶
Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include a representation containing a list of representation metadata and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The data format is specified by the media type given in the Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice MAY be performed automatically. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection.¶
If the server has a preferred choice of representation, it SHOULD include the specific URI for that representation in the Location field; user agents MAY use the Location field value for automatic redirection.¶
Caches MAY use a heuristic (see Section 220.127.116.11 of [Part6]) to determine freshness for 300 responses.¶
The target resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any future references to this resource SHOULD use one of the returned URIs. Clients with link editing capabilities ought to automatically re-link references to the effective request URI to one or more of the new references returned by the server, where possible.¶
Caches MAY use a heuristic (see Section 126.96.36.199 of [Part6]) to determine freshness for 301 responses.¶
The new permanent URI SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the representation of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s).¶
If the 301 status code is received in response to a request method that is known to be "safe", as defined in Section 6.1.1, then the request MAY be automatically redirected by the user agent without confirmation. Otherwise, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued.¶
The target resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection might be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to use the effective request URI for future requests.¶
The temporary URI SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the representation of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s).¶
If the 302 status code is received in response to a request method that is known to be "safe", as defined in Section 6.1.1, then the request MAY be automatically redirected by the user agent without confirmation. Otherwise, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued.¶
The 303 status code indicates that the server is redirecting the user agent to a different resource, as indicated by a URI in the Location header field, that is intended to provide an indirect response to the original request. In order to satisfy the original request, a user agent SHOULD perform a retrieval request using the Location URI (a GET or HEAD request if using HTTP), which may itself be redirected further, and present the eventual result as an answer to the original request. Note that the new URI in the Location header field is not considered equivalent to the effective request URI.¶
This status code is generally applicable to any HTTP method. It is primarily used to allow the output of a POST action to redirect the user agent to a selected resource, since doing so provides the information corresponding to the POST response in a form that can be separately identified, bookmarked, and cached independent of the original request.¶
A 303 response to a GET request indicates that the requested resource does not have a representation of its own that can be transferred by the server over HTTP. The Location URI indicates a resource that is descriptive of the target resource, such that the follow-on representation might be useful to recipients without implying that it adequately represents the target resource. Note that answers to the questions of what can be represented, what representations are adequate, and what might be a useful description are outside the scope of HTTP and thus entirely determined by the URI owner(s).¶
Except for responses to a HEAD request, the representation of a 303 response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the Location URI.¶
The response to the request has not been modified since the conditions indicated by the client's conditional GET request, as defined in Section 4.1 of [Part4].¶
The 305 status code was defined in a previous version of this specification (see Appendix A), and is now deprecated.¶
The 306 status code was used in a previous version of the specification, is no longer used, and the code is reserved.¶
The target resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection can change over time, the client SHOULD continue to use the effective request URI for future requests.¶
The temporary URI SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the representation of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s), since many pre-HTTP/1.1 user agents do not understand the 307 status code. Therefore, the note SHOULD contain the information necessary for a user to repeat the original request on the new URI.¶
If the 307 status code is received in response to a request method that is known to be "safe", as defined in Section 6.1.1, then the request MAY be automatically redirected by the user agent without confirmation. Otherwise, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued.¶
The 4xx class of status code is intended for cases in which the client seems to have erred. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server SHOULD include a representation containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. These status codes are applicable to any request method. User agents SHOULD display any included representation to the user.¶
If the client is sending data, a server implementation using TCP SHOULD be careful to ensure that the client acknowledges receipt of the packet(s) containing the response, before the server closes the input connection. If the client continues sending data to the server after the close, the server's TCP stack will send a reset packet to the client, which might erase the client's unacknowledged input buffers before they can be read and interpreted by the HTTP application.¶
The server cannot or will not process the request, due to a client error (e.g., malformed syntax).¶
The request requires user authentication (see Section 3.1 of [Part7]).¶
This code is reserved for future use.¶
The server understood the request, but refuses to authorize it. Providing different user authentication credentials might be successful, but any credentials that were provided in the request are insufficient. The request SHOULD NOT be repeated with the same credentials.¶
If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the representation. If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 404 (Not Found) MAY be used instead.¶
The server has not found anything matching the effective request URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable.¶
The method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the target resource. The response MUST include an Allow header field containing a list of valid methods for the requested resource.¶
The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response representations which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the Accept and Accept-* header fields sent in the request (see Section 6 of [Part3]).¶
Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include a representation containing a list of available representation characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The data format is specified by the media type given in the Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice MAY be performed automatically. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection.¶
If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further actions.¶
This code is similar to 401 (Unauthorized), but indicates that the client must first authenticate itself with the proxy (see Section 3.2 of [Part7]).¶
The client did not produce a request within the time that the server was prepared to wait. The client MAY repeat the request without modifications at any later time.¶
The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource. This code is only allowed in situations where it is expected that the user might be able to resolve the conflict and resubmit the request. The response body SHOULD include enough information for the user to recognize the source of the conflict. Ideally, the response representation would include enough information for the user or user agent to fix the problem; however, that might not be possible and is not required.¶
Conflicts are most likely to occur in response to a PUT request. For example, if versioning were being used and the representation being PUT included changes to a resource which conflict with those made by an earlier (third-party) request, the server might use the 409 response to indicate that it can't complete the request. In this case, the response representation would likely contain a list of the differences between the two versions in a format defined by the response Content-Type.¶
The target resource is no longer available at the server and no forwarding address is known. This condition is expected to be considered permanent. Clients with link editing capabilities SHOULD delete references to the effective request URI after user approval. If the server does not know, or has no facility to determine, whether or not the condition is permanent, the status code 404 (Not Found) SHOULD be used instead.¶
The 410 response is primarily intended to assist the task of web maintenance by notifying the recipient that the resource is intentionally unavailable and that the server owners desire that remote links to that resource be removed. Such an event is common for limited-time, promotional services and for resources belonging to individuals no longer working at the server's site. It is not necessary to mark all permanently unavailable resources as "gone" or to keep the mark for any length of time — that is left to the discretion of the server owner.¶
Caches MAY use a heuristic (see Section 22.214.171.124 of [Part6]) to determine freshness for 410 responses.¶
The server refuses to accept the request without a defined Content-Length. The client MAY repeat the request if it adds a valid Content-Length header field containing the length of the message-body in the request message.¶
The precondition given in one or more of the header fields evaluated to false when it was tested on the server, as defined in Section 4.2 of [Part4].¶
The server is refusing to process a request because the request representation is larger than the server is willing or able to process. The server MAY close the connection to prevent the client from continuing the request.¶
If the condition is temporary, the server SHOULD include a Retry-After header field to indicate that it is temporary and after what time the client MAY try again.¶
The server is refusing to service the request because the effective request URI is longer than the server is willing to interpret. This rare condition is only likely to occur when a client has improperly converted a POST request to a GET request with long query information, when the client has descended into a URI "black hole" of redirection (e.g., a redirected URI prefix that points to a suffix of itself), or when the server is under attack by a client attempting to exploit security holes present in some servers using fixed-length buffers for reading or manipulating the effective request URI.¶
The server is refusing to service the request because the request payload is in a format not supported by this request method on the target resource.¶
The request included a Range header field (Section 5.4 of [Part5]) and none of the range-specifier values in this field overlap the current extent of the selected resource. See Section 3.2 of [Part5].¶
The expectation given in an Expect header field (see Section 9.3) could not be met by this server, or, if the server is a proxy, the server has unambiguous evidence that the request could not be met by the next-hop server.¶
The request can not be completed without a prior protocol upgrade. This response MUST include an Upgrade header field (Section 8.7 of [Part1]) specifying the required protocols.¶
HTTP/1.1 426 Upgrade Required Upgrade: HTTP/2.0 Connection: Upgrade
The server SHOULD include a message body in the 426 response which indicates in human readable form the reason for the error and describes any alternative courses which may be available to the user.¶
Response status codes beginning with the digit "5" indicate cases in which the server is aware that it has erred or is incapable of performing the request. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server SHOULD include a representation containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. User agents SHOULD display any included representation to the user. These response codes are applicable to any request method.¶
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.¶
The server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request. This is the appropriate response when the server does not recognize the request method and is not capable of supporting it for any resource.¶
The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to fulfill the request.¶
The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server.¶
The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay MAY be indicated in a Retry-After header field (Section 9.8). If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD handle the response as it would for a 500 response.¶
The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, did not receive a timely response from the upstream server specified by the URI (e.g., HTTP, FTP, LDAP) or some other auxiliary server (e.g., DNS) it needed to access in attempting to complete the request.¶
The server does not support, or refuses to support, the protocol version that was used in the request message. The server is indicating that it is unable or unwilling to complete the request using the same major version as the client, as described in Section 2.6 of [Part1], other than with this error message. The response SHOULD contain a representation describing why that version is not supported and what other protocols are supported by that server.¶
HTTP applications have historically allowed three different formats for date/time stamps. However, the preferred format is a fixed-length subset of that defined by [RFC1123]:¶
Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 1123
The other formats are described here only for compatibility with obsolete implementations.¶
Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT ; obsolete RFC 850 format Sun Nov 6 08:49:37 1994 ; ANSI C's asctime() format
HTTP/1.1 clients and servers that parse a date value MUST accept all three formats (for compatibility with HTTP/1.0), though they MUST only generate the RFC 1123 format for representing HTTP-date values in header fields.¶
All HTTP date/time stamps MUST be represented in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), without exception. For the purposes of HTTP, GMT is exactly equal to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). This is indicated in the first two formats by the inclusion of "GMT" as the three-letter abbreviation for time zone, and MUST be assumed when reading the asctime format. HTTP-date is case sensitive and MUST NOT include additional whitespace beyond that specifically included as SP in the grammar.¶
Preferred format:¶
rfc1123-date = day-name "," SP date1 SP time-of-day SP GMT ; fixed length subset of the format defined in ; Section 5.2.14 of [RFC1123] day-name = %x4D.6F.6E ; "Mon", case-sensitive / %x54.75.65 ; "Tue", case-sensitive / %x57.65.64 ; "Wed", case-sensitive / %x54.68.75 ; "Thu", case-sensitive / %x46.72.69 ; "Fri", case-sensitive / %x53.61.74 ; "Sat", case-sensitive / %x53.75.6E ; "Sun", case-sensitive date1 = day SP month SP year ; e.g., 02 Jun 1982 day = 2DIGIT month = %x4A.61.6E ; "Jan", case-sensitive / %x46.65.62 ; "Feb", case-sensitive / %x4D.61.72 ; "Mar", case-sensitive / %x41.70.72 ; "Apr", case-sensitive / %x4D.61.79 ; "May", case-sensitive / %x4A.75.6E ; "Jun", case-sensitive / %x4A.75.6C ; "Jul", case-sensitive / %x41.75.67 ; "Aug", case-sensitive / %x53.65.70 ; "Sep", case-sensitive / %x4F.63.74 ; "Oct", case-sensitive / %x4E.6F.76 ; "Nov", case-sensitive / %x44.65.63 ; "Dec", case-sensitive year = 4DIGIT GMT = %x47.4D.54 ; "GMT", case-sensitive time-of-day = hour ":" minute ":" second ; 00:00:00 - 23:59:59 hour = 2DIGIT minute = 2DIGIT second = 2DIGIT
The semantics of day-name, day, month, year, and time-of-day are the same as those defined for the RFC 5322 constructs with the corresponding name ([RFC5322], Section 3.3).¶
Obsolete formats:¶
rfc850-date = day-name-l "," SP date2 SP time-of-day SP GMT date2 = day "-" month "-" 2DIGIT ; day-month-year (e.g., 02-Jun-82) day-name-l = %x4D.6F.6E.64.61.79 ; "Monday", case-sensitive / %x126.96.36.199.64.61.79 ; "Tuesday", case-sensitive / %x22.214.171.124E.18.104.22.168.79 ; "Wednesday", case-sensitive / %x22.214.171.124.18.104.22.168 ; "Thursday", case-sensitive / %x220.127.116.11.61.79 ; "Friday", case-sensitive / %x220.127.116.11.18.104.22.168 ; "Saturday", case-sensitive / %x53.75.6E.64.61.79 ; "Sunday", case-sensitive
This section defines the syntax and semantics of HTTP/1.1 header fields related to request and response semantics.¶
The "Allow" header field lists the set of methods advertised as supported by the target resource. The purpose of this field is strictly to inform the recipient of valid request methods associated with the resource.¶
Example of use:¶
Allow: GET, HEAD, PUT
The actual set of allowed methods is defined by the origin server at the time of each request.¶
A proxy MUST NOT modify the Allow header field — it does not need to understand all the methods specified in order to handle them according to the generic message handling rules.¶
The "Date" header field represents the date and time at which the message was originated, having the same semantics as the Origination Date Field (orig-date) defined in Section 3.6.1 of [RFC5322]. The field value is an HTTP-date, as defined in Section 8; it MUST be sent in rfc1123-date format.¶
An example is¶

Origin servers MUST include a Date header field in all responses, except in these cases: ¶
A received message that does not have a Date header field MUST be assigned one by the recipient if the message will be cached by that recipient.¶
Clients can use the Date header field as well; in order to keep request messages small, they are advised not to include it when it doesn't convey any useful information (as it is usually the case for requests that do not contain a payload).¶
The HTTP-date sent in a Date header field SHOULD NOT represent a date and time subsequent to the generation of the message. It SHOULD represent the best available approximation of the date and time of message generation, unless the implementation has no means of generating a reasonably accurate date and time. In theory, the date ought to represent the moment just before the payload is generated. In practice, the date can be generated at any time during the message origination without affecting its semantic value.¶
The "Expect" header field is used to indicate that particular server behaviors are required by the client.¶
Expect = 1#expectation expectation = expect-name [ BWS "=" BWS expect-value ] *( OWS ";" [ OWS expect-param ] ) expect-param = expect-name [ BWS "=" BWS expect-value ] expect-name = token expect-value = token / quoted-string
If all received Expect header field(s) are syntactically valid but contain an expectation that the recipient does not understand or cannot comply with, the recipient MUST respond with a 417 (Expectation Failed) status code. A recipient of a syntactically invalid Expectation header field MUST respond with a 4xx status code other than 417.¶
The only expectation defined by this specification is:¶
100-continue ¶
Comparison is case-insensitive for names (expect-name), and case-sensitive for values (expect-value).¶
The Expect mechanism is hop-by-hop: the above requirements apply to any server, including proxies. However, the Expect header field itself is end-to-end; it MUST be forwarded if the request is forwarded.¶
Many older HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 applications do not understand the Expect header field.¶
The "From" header field, if given, SHOULD contain an Internet e-mail address for the human user who controls the requesting user agent. The address SHOULD be machine-usable, as defined by "mailbox" in Section 3.4 of [RFC5322]:¶
From = mailbox mailbox = <mailbox, defined in [RFC5322], Section 3.4>
An example is:¶
From: email@example.com
This header field MAY be used for logging purposes and as a means for identifying the source of invalid or unwanted requests. It SHOULD NOT be used as an insecure form of access protection. The interpretation of this field is that the request is being performed on behalf of the person given, who accepts responsibility for the method performed. In particular, robot agents SHOULD include this header field so that the person responsible for running the robot can be contacted if problems occur on the receiving end.¶
The Internet e-mail address in this field MAY be separate from the Internet host which issued the request. For example, when a request is passed through a proxy the original issuer's address SHOULD be used.¶
The client SHOULD NOT send the From header field without the user's approval, as it might conflict with the user's privacy interests or their site's security policy. It is strongly recommended that the user be able to disable, enable, and modify the value of this field at any time prior to a request.¶
The "Location" header field is used to identify a newly created resource, or to redirect the recipient to a different location for completion of the request.¶
For 201 (Created) responses, the Location is the URI of the new resource which was created by the request. For 3xx responses, the location SHOULD indicate the server's preferred URI for automatic redirection to the resource.¶
The field value consists of a single URI-reference. When it has the form of a relative reference ([RFC3986], Section 4.2), the final value is computed by resolving it against the effective request URI ([RFC3986], Section 5).¶
Examples are:
Location: http://www.example.org/pub/WWW/People.html#tim
Location: /index.html
There are circumstances in which a fragment identifier in a Location URI would not be appropriate. For instance, when it appears in a 201 Created response, where the Location header field specifies the URI for the entire created resource.¶
The "Max-Forwards" header field provides a mechanism with the TRACE (Section 6.8) and OPTIONS (Section 6.2) methods to limit the number of times that the request is forwarded by proxies. This can be useful when the client is attempting to trace a request which appears to be failing or looping in mid-chain.¶
Max-Forwards = 1*DIGIT
The Max-Forwards value is a decimal integer indicating the remaining number of times this request message can be forwarded.¶
Each recipient of a TRACE or OPTIONS request containing a Max-Forwards header field MUST check and update its value prior to forwarding the request. If the received value is zero (0), the recipient MUST NOT forward the request; instead, it MUST respond as the final recipient. If the received Max-Forwards value is greater than zero, then the forwarded message MUST contain an updated Max-Forwards field with a value decremented by one (1).¶
The Max-Forwards header field MAY be ignored for all other request methods.¶
The "Referer" [sic] header field allows the client to specify the URI of the resource from which the effective request URI was obtained (the "referrer", although the header field is misspelled.).¶
The Referer header field allows servers to generate lists of back-links to resources for interest, logging, optimized caching, etc. It also allows obsolete or mistyped links to be traced for maintenance. Some servers use Referer as a means of controlling where they allow links from (so-called "deep linking"), but legitimate requests do not always contain a Referer header field.¶
If the effective request URI was obtained from a source that does not have its own URI (e.g., input from the user keyboard), the Referer field MUST either be sent with the value "about:blank", or not be sent at all. Note that this requirement does not apply to sources with non-HTTP URIs (e.g., FTP).¶
Referer: http://www.example.org/hypertext/Overview.html
If the field value is a relative URI, it SHOULD be interpreted relative to the effective request URI. The URI MUST NOT include a fragment. See Section 11.2 for security considerations.¶
The header "Retry-After" field can be used with a 503 (Service Unavailable) response to indicate how long the service is expected to be unavailable to the requesting client. This field MAY also be used with any 3xx (Redirection) response to indicate the minimum time the user-agent is asked wait before issuing the redirected request.¶
The value of this field can be either an HTTP-date or an integer number of seconds (in decimal) after the time of the response.¶
Time spans are non-negative decimal integers, representing time in seconds.¶
delta-seconds = 1*DIGIT
Two examples of its use are¶
Retry-After: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 23:59:59 GMT Retry-After: 120
In the latter example, the delay is 2 minutes.¶
The "Server" header field contains information about the software used by the origin server to handle the request.¶
The field can contain multiple product tokens (Section 5.2 of [Part1]) and comments (Section 3.2 of [Part1]) identifying the server and any significant subproducts. The product tokens are listed in order of their significance for identifying the application.¶
Server: CERN/3.0 libwww/2.17
If the response is being forwarded through a proxy, the proxy application MUST NOT modify the Server header field. Instead, it MUST include a Via field (as described in Section 8.8 of [Part1]).¶
The "User-Agent" header field contains information about the user agent originating the request. User agents SHOULD include this field with requests.¶
Typically, it is used for statistical purposes, the tracing of protocol violations, and tailoring responses to avoid particular user agent limitations.¶
The field can contain multiple product tokens (Section 5.2 of [Part1]) and comments (Section 3.2 of [Part1]) identifying the agent and its significant subproducts. By convention, the product tokens are listed in order of their significance for identifying the application.¶
Because this field is usually sent on every request a user agent makes, implementations are encouraged not to include needlessly fine-grained detail, and to limit (or even prohibit) the addition of subproducts by third parties. Overly long and detailed User-Agent field values make requests larger and can also be used to identify ("fingerprint") the user against their wishes.¶
Likewise, implementations are encouraged not to use the product tokens of other implementations in order to declare compatibility with them, as this circumvents the purpose of the field. Finally, they are encouraged not to use comments to identify products; doing so makes the field value more difficult to parse.¶
User-Agent = product *( RWS ( product / comment ) )
User-Agent: CERN-LineMode/2.15 libwww/2.17b3

The change controller is: "IETF (email@example.com) - Internet Engineering Task Force".¶
This section is meant to inform application developers, information providers, and users of the security limitations in HTTP/1.1 as described by this document. The discussion does not include definitive solutions to the problems revealed, though it does make some suggestions for reducing security risks.¶
Like any generic data transfer protocol, HTTP cannot regulate the content of the data that is transferred, nor is there any a priori method of determining the sensitivity of any particular piece of information within the context of any given request. Therefore, applications SHOULD supply as much control over this information as possible to the provider of that information. Four header fields are worth special mention in this context: Server, Via, Referer and From.¶
Revealing the specific software version of the server might allow the server machine to become more vulnerable to attacks against software that is known to contain security holes. Implementors SHOULD make the Server header field a configurable option.¶
Proxies which serve as a portal through a network firewall SHOULD take special precautions regarding the transfer of header information that identifies the hosts behind the firewall. In particular, they SHOULD remove, or replace with sanitized versions, any Via fields generated behind the firewall.¶
The Referer header field allows reading patterns to be studied and reverse links drawn. Although it can be very useful, its power can be abused if user details are not separated from the information contained in the Referer. Even when the personal information has been removed, the Referer header field might indicate a private document's URI whose publication would be inappropriate.¶
The information sent in the From field might conflict with the user's privacy interests or their site's security policy, and hence it SHOULD NOT be transmitted without the user being able to disable, enable, and modify the contents of the field. The user MUST be able to set the contents of this field within a user preference or application defaults configuration.¶
We suggest, though do not require, that a convenient toggle interface be provided for the user to enable or disable the sending of From and Referer information.¶
The User-Agent (Section 9.10) or Server (Section 9.9) header fields can sometimes be used to determine that a specific client or server have a particular security hole which might be exploited. Unfortunately, this same information is often used for other valuable purposes for which HTTP currently has no better mechanism.¶
Furthermore, the User-Agent header field may contain enough entropy to be used, possibly in conjunction with other material, to uniquely identify the user.¶
Some request methods, like TRACE (Section 6.8), expose information that was sent in request header fields within the body of their response. Clients SHOULD be careful with sensitive information, like Cookies, Authorization credentials, and other header fields that might be used to collect data from the client.¶
Because the source of a link might be private information or might reveal an otherwise private information source, it is strongly recommended that the user be able to select whether or not the Referer field is sent. For example, a browser client could have a toggle switch for browsing openly/anonymously, which would respectively enable/disable the sending of Referer and From information.¶
Clients SHOULD NOT include a Referer header field in a (non-secure) HTTP request if the referring page was transferred with a secure protocol.¶
Authors of services SHOULD NOT use GET-based forms for the submission of sensitive data because that data will be placed in the request-target. Many existing servers, proxies, and user agents log or display the request-target in places where it might be visible to third parties. Such services can use POST-based form submission instead.¶
If a single server supports multiple organizations that do not trust one another, then it MUST check the values of Location and Content-Location header fields in responses that are generated under control of said organizations to make sure that they do not attempt to invalidate resources over which they have no authority.¶
Since tunneled data is opaque to the proxy, there are additional risks to tunneling to other well-known or reserved ports. A HTTP client CONNECTing to port 25 could relay spam via SMTP, for example. As such, proxies SHOULD restrict CONNECT access to a small number of known ports.¶
See Section 11 of [Part1].¶
This document takes over the Status Code Registry, previously defined in Section 7.1 of [RFC2817]. (Section 4.2)¶
Clarify definition of POST. (Section 6.5)¶
Remove requirement to handle all Content-* header fields; ban use of Content-Range with PUT. (Section 6.6)¶
Take over definition of CONNECT method from [RFC2817]. (Section 6.9)¶
Broadened the definition of 203 (Non-Authoritative Information) to include cases of payload transformations as well. (Section 7.2.4)¶
Failed to consider that there are many other request methods that are safe to automatically redirect, and further that the user agent is able to make that determination based on the request method semantics. Furthermore, allow user agents to rewrite the method from POST to GET for status codes 301 and 302. (Sections 7.3.2, 7.3.3 and 7.3.8)¶
Deprecate 305 Use Proxy status code, because user agents did not implement it. It used to indicate that the target resource must be accessed through the proxy given by the Location field. The Location field gave the URI of the proxy. The recipient was expected to repeat this single request via the proxy. (Section 7.3.6)¶
Define status 426 (Upgrade Required) (this was incorporated from [RFC2817]). (Section 7.4.19)¶
Reclassify "Allow" as response header field, removing the option to specify it in a PUT request. Relax the server requirement on the contents of the Allow header field and remove requirement on clients to always trust the header field value. (Section 9.1)¶
The ABNF for the Expect header field has been both fixed (allowing parameters for value-less expectations as well) and simplified (allowing trailing semicolons after "100-continue" when they were invalid before). (Section 9.3)¶
Correct syntax of Location header field to allow URI references (including relative references and fragments), as referred symbol "absoluteURI" wasn't what was expected, and add some clarifications as to when use of fragments would not be appropriate. (Section 9.5)¶
Restrict Max-Forwards header field to OPTIONS and TRACE (previously, extension methods could have used it as well). (Section 9.6)¶
Allow Referer field value of "about:blank" as alternative to not specifying it. (Section 9.7)¶
In the description of the Server header field, the Via field was described as a SHOULD. The requirement was and is stated correctly in the description of the Via header field in Section 8.8 of [Part1]. (Section 9.9)¶
Allow = [ ( "," / Method ) *( OWS "," [ OWS Method ] ) ] BWS = <BWS, defined in [Part1], Section 1.2.2> Date = HTTP-date Expect = *( "," OWS ) expectation *( OWS "," [ OWS expectation ] ) From = mailbox GMT = %x47.4D.54 ; GMT HTTP-date = rfc1123-date / obs-date Location = URI-reference Max-Forwards = 1*DIGIT Method = token OWS = <OWS, defined in [Part1], Section 1.2.2> RWS = <RWS, defined in [Part1], Section 1.2.2> Reason-Phrase = *( HTAB / SP / VCHAR / obs-text ) Referer = absolute-URI / partial-URI Retry-After = HTTP-date / delta-seconds Server = product *( RWS ( product / comment ) ) Status-Code = 3DIGIT URI-reference = <URI-reference, defined in [Part1], Section 2.7> User-Agent = product *( RWS ( product / comment ) ) absolute-URI = <absolute-URI, defined in [Part1], Section 2.7> asctime-date = day-name SP date3 SP time-of-day SP year comment = <comment, defined in [Part1], Section 3.2> date1 = day SP month SP year date2 = day "-" month "-" 2DIGIT date3 = month SP ( 2DIGIT / ( SP DIGIT ) ) day = 2DIGIT day-name = %x4D.6F.6E ; Mon / %x54.75.65 ; Tue / %x57.65.64 ; Wed / %x54.68.75 ; Thu / %x46.72.69 ; Fri / %x53.61.74 ; Sat / %x53.75.6E ; Sun day-name-l = %x4D.6F.6E.64.61.79 ; Monday / %x184.108.40.206.64.61.79 ; Tuesday / %x18.104.22.168E.18.104.22.168.79 ; Wednesday / %x18.104.22.168.126.96.36.199 ; Thursday / %x188.8.131.52.61.79 ; Friday / %x188.8.131.52.184.108.40.206 ; Saturday / %x53.75.6E.64.61.79 ; Sunday delta-seconds = 1*DIGIT expect-name = token expect-param = expect-name [ BWS "=" BWS expect-value ] expect-value = token / quoted-string expectation = expect-name [ BWS "=" BWS expect-value ] *( OWS ";" [ OWS expect-param ] ) hour = 2DIGIT mailbox = <mailbox, defined in [RFC5322], Section 3.4> minute = 2DIGIT month = %x4A.61.6E ; Jan / %x46.65.62 ; Feb / %x4D.61.72 ; Mar / %x41.70.72 ; Apr / %x4D.61.79 ; May / %x4A.75.6E ; Jun / %x4A.75.6C ; Jul / %x41.75.67 ; Aug / %x53.65.70 ; Sep / %x4F.63.74 ; Oct / %x4E.6F.76 ; Nov / %x44.65.63 ; Dec obs-date = rfc850-date / asctime-date obs-text = <obs-text, defined in [Part1], Section 1.2.2> partial-URI = <partial-URI, defined in [Part1], Section 2.7> product = <product, defined in [Part1], Section 5.2> quoted-string = <quoted-string, defined in [Part1], Section 3.2.3> rfc1123-date = day-name "," SP date1 SP time-of-day SP GMT rfc850-date = day-name-l "," SP date2 SP time-of-day SP GMT second = 2DIGIT time-of-day = hour ":" minute ":" second token = <token, defined in [Part1], Section 3.2.3> year = 4DIGIT
