The 202 (Accepted) status code indicates that the request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not be eventually acted upon, and may be disallowed when processing occurs.

This status code is intended for cases where another process or server handles the request, or for batch processing. The 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.
