HTTP 101 Switching Protocols vs 502 Bad Gateway
HTTP 101 (Switching Protocols) is a 1xx Informational response, while 502 (Bad Gateway) is a 5xx Server Error response. 101 indicates that the server understands the Upgrade header field request and indicates which protocol it is switching to. In contrast, 502 means that the server, acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server.
