HTTP 203 Non-Authoritative Information vs 205 Reset Content
Both HTTP 203 (Non-Authoritative Information) and 205 (Reset Content) belong to the 2xx Success category. 203 indicates that the response payload has been modified by a transforming proxy from the origin server's 200 response. Meanwhile, 205 means that the server fulfilled the request and the client should reset the document view (e.g., clear a form).
