HTTP 200 OK vs 205 Reset Content

Both HTTP 200 (OK) and 205 (Reset Content) belong to the 2xx Success category. 200 indicates that the request succeeded. The meaning depends on the HTTP method: GET returns the resource, POST reports the action result, HEAD returns headers only. Meanwhile, 205 means that the server fulfilled the request and the client should reset the document view (e.g., clear a form).
