HTTP 203 Non-Authoritative Information vs 207 Multi-Status
Both HTTP 203 (Non-Authoritative Information) and 207 (Multi-Status) belong to the 2xx Success category. 203 indicates that the response payload has been modified by a transforming proxy from the origin server's 200 response. Meanwhile, 207 means that the response body contains status information for multiple resources, in situations where multiple status codes might be appropriate (WebDAV).
Description
The response payload has been modified by a transforming proxy from the origin server's 200 response.
When You See It
When a proxy or CDN modifies the response body (e.g., adds headers, transforms content).
How to Fix
Check if a proxy is modifying the response. Access the origin directly if you need the original content.
Description
The response body contains status information for multiple resources, in situations where multiple status codes might be appropriate (WebDAV).
When You See It
In WebDAV operations that affect multiple resources simultaneously.
How to Fix
Parse the XML body to check the status of each individual resource.

HTTP 203: The response payload has been modified by a transforming proxy from the origin server's 200 response.
HTTP 207: The response body contains status information for multiple resources, in situations where multiple status codes might be appropriate (WebDAV).
You encounter 203 when when a proxy or CDN modifies the response body (e.g., adds headers, transforms content).
You encounter 207 when in WebDAV operations that affect multiple resources simultaneously.
When to Use Which
For 203 (Non-Authoritative Information): Check if a proxy is modifying the response. Access the origin directly if you need the original content. For 207 (Multi-Status): Parse the XML body to check the status of each individual resource.
