205 Reset Content
The HTTP 205 status code means a request was successful, and the user agent should reset the document view to its original form.
Theoretically, after a user submits an HTML form, a browser should clear the form upon receiving the 205 Reset Content
response. Similar to 204 No Content
, servers shouldn’t include a response body (payload) with 205 Reset Content
.
Most clients don’t handle this response code properly, so you’re better off using either the 200 OK
or 204 No Content
status codes.
