HTTP 205 Reset Content vs 403 Forbidden
HTTP 205 (Reset Content) is a 2xx Success response, while 403 (Forbidden) is a 4xx Client Error response. 205 indicates that the server fulfilled the request and the client should reset the document view (e.g., clear a form). 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.
