HTTP 200 OK vs 403 Forbidden
HTTP 200 (OK) is a 2xx Success response, while 403 (Forbidden) is a 4xx Client Error response. 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. In contrast, 403 means that the server understood the request but refuses to authorize it. Unlike 401, authentication will not help — the user simply does not have permission.
