HTTP 100 Continue vs 428 Precondition Required
HTTP 100 (Continue) is a 1xx Informational response, while 428 (Precondition Required) is a 4xx Client 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, 428 means that the server requires the request to be conditional (e.g., include If-Match header) to prevent lost updates.
