HTTP 202 Accepted vs 502 Bad Gateway
HTTP 202 (Accepted) is a 2xx Success response, while 502 (Bad Gateway) is a 5xx Server Error response. 202 indicates that the request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not eventually be acted upon. In contrast, 502 means that the server, acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server.
