HTTP 203 Non-Authoritative Information vs 304 Not Modified
HTTP 203 (Non-Authoritative Information) is a 2xx Success response, while 304 (Not Modified) is a 3xx Redirection response. 203 indicates that the response payload has been modified by a transforming proxy from the origin server's 200 response. In contrast, 304 means that the resource has not been modified since the last request. The client can use its cached copy.
