HTTP 100 Continue vs 502 Bad Gateway
HTTP 100 (Continue) is a 1xx Informational response, while 502 (Bad Gateway) 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, 502 means that the server, acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server.
