HTTP 102 Processing vs 203 Non-Authoritative Information

HTTP 102 (Processing) is a 1xx Informational response, while 203 (Non-Authoritative Information) is a 2xx Success response. 102 indicates that the server has received and is processing the request, but no response is available yet. Prevents the client from timing out. In contrast, 203 means that the response payload has been modified by a transforming proxy from the origin server's 200 response.
