2) 2) HTTP

3) 4) Request Header

5) 2) 404

Here is a brief explanation of the different status codes 

– 401: Unauthorized – The request requires user authentication.
– 402: Payment Required – This status code is reserved for future use.
– 403: Forbidden – The server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.
– 404: Not Found – The server can’t find the requested page.

6) 1) 500

Here’s a brief explanation of the different status codes:

– 500: Internal Server Error – The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.
– 501: Not Implemented – The server either does not recognize the request method, or it lacks the ability to fulfill the request.
– 502: Bad Gateway – The server received an invalid response from the upstream server while trying to fulfill the request.
– 504: Gateway Timeout – The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, did not receive a timely response from the upstream server.

7) 3) Success

8) 1) CREATE

CREATE is not an HTTP method. The standard HTTP methods include:

– GET: Retrieve data from a server.
– POST: Send data to a server to create a resource.
– PUT: Update or create a resource on the server with the provided data.
– DELETE: Remove a resource from the server.
– OPTIONS: Describe the communication options for the target resource.
– HEAD: Similar to GET but without the response body.
– PATCH: Apply partial modifications to a resource.
– TRACE: Perform a message loop-back test along the path to the target resource.
– CONNECT: Establish a tunnel to the server identified by the target resource.

403: Forbidden – This status indicates that the server understands the request but refuses to authorize it.

409: Conflict – Indicates that the request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource, such as a version control conflict.
