HTTP 100 Continue vs 506 Variant Also Negotiates
HTTP 100 (Continue) is a 1xx Informational response, while 506 (Variant Also Negotiates) 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, 506 means that the server has an internal configuration error: the chosen variant resource is configured to engage in content negotiation itself.
