HTTP 101 Switching Protocols vs 504 Gateway Timeout
HTTP 101 (Switching Protocols) is a 1xx Informational response, while 504 (Gateway Timeout) 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, 504 means that the server, acting as a gateway or proxy, did not receive a timely response from the upstream server.
