205 Reset Content

Success

The server successfully processed the request, but is not returning any content. Unlike 204, this response requires the requester to reset the document view.

Explanation

The 205 (Reset Content) status code indicates that the server has fulfilled the request and the client should reset the document view which caused the request to be sent. This response is intended to allow input for actions to take place via user input, followed by a clearing of the form in which the input was given so that the user can easily initiate another input action.

The response MUST NOT include an entity. This differs from a 204 response by requiring that the requester reset the document view.

Example Response

HTTP/1.1 205 Reset Content
