HTTP 100 Continue vs 501 Not Implemented
HTTP 100 (Continue) is a 1xx Informational response, while 501 (Not Implemented) is a 5xx Server Error response. 100 indicates that the server has received the request headers and the client should proceed to send the request body. This lets the client know it can continue with the request or abort if the headers were rejected. In contrast, 501 means that the server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request. The server either does not recognize the request method or lacks the ability to fulfill it.
