HTTP 101 Switching Protocols vs 506 Variant Also Negotiates
HTTP 101 (Switching Protocols) is a 1xx Informational response, while 506 (Variant Also Negotiates) 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, 506 means that the server has an internal configuration error: the chosen variant resource is configured to engage in content negotiation itself.
