HTTP 100 Continue vs 415 Unsupported Media Type
HTTP 100 (Continue) is a 1xx Informational response, while 415 (Unsupported Media Type) is a 4xx Client 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, 415 means that the server refuses to accept the request because the Content-Type is not supported.
