HTTP 101 Switching Protocols vs 304 Not Modified
HTTP 101 (Switching Protocols) is a 1xx Informational response, while 304 (Not Modified) is a 3xx Redirection response. 101 indicates that the server understands the Upgrade header field request and indicates which protocol it is switching to. In contrast, 304 means that the resource has not been modified since the last request. The client can use its cached copy.
