HTTP 100 Continue vs 431 Request Header Fields Too Large
HTTP 100 (Continue) is a 1xx Informational response, while 431 (Request Header Fields Too Large) 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, 431 means that the server refuses to process the request because an individual header field or all headers collectively are too large.
