HTTP 102 Processing vs 502 Bad Gateway
HTTP 102 (Processing) is a 1xx Informational response, while 502 (Bad Gateway) is a 5xx Server Error 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, 502 means that the server, acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server.
Description
The server has received and is processing the request, but no response is available yet. Prevents the client from timing out.
When You See It
During long-running WebDAV operations.
How to Fix
Wait for the final response. This is an interim status to prevent timeouts.
Description
The server, acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server.
When You See It
When Nginx/Apache can't reach the application server (e.g., Gunicorn is down, upstream timeout).
How to Fix
Check if the upstream server is running. Verify proxy configuration. Check for upstream timeouts.
Key Differences
102 is a 1xx Informational response, while 502 is a 5xx Server Error response.
HTTP 102: The server has received and is processing the request, but no response is available yet. Prevents the client from timing out.
HTTP 502: The server, acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server.
You encounter 102 when during long-running WebDAV operations.
You encounter 502 when when Nginx/Apache can't reach the application server (e.g., Gunicorn is down, upstream timeout).
When to Use Which
For 102 (Processing): Wait for the final response. This is an interim status to prevent timeouts. For 502 (Bad Gateway): Check if the upstream server is running. Verify proxy configuration. Check for upstream timeouts.
