JSP HTTP status code

HTTP request and HTTP response similar format, have the following structure:

  • In the status line + CRLF (carriage return line feed) Start
  • Zero or more rows head module + CRLF
  • A blank line, such as CRLF
  • Optional message body like file, query data, query output

For example, a server response header looks like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html
Header2: ...
...
HeaderN: ...
  (Blank Line)
<!doctype ...>
<html>
<head>...</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>

The status line contains the HTTP version, a status code, and a status code corresponding to a short message.

The following table lists the HTTP status codes and messages associated may be returned from the server:

Setting HTTP status code method

The following table lists the HttpServletResponse class method used to set the status code:

SN Method & description
1 public void setStatus (int statusCode)

This method can be set to any status code. If your response contains a status code and a special document, be sure to use PrintWriter return anything before calling the method setStatus
2 public void sendRedirect (String url)

This method produces a 302 response, while generating a URL Location header tells a new document
3 public void sendError (int code, String message)

This method will be a status code (usually 404), and a short message automatically inserted HTML document and sends it back to the client

HTTP status code Program example

The following example will send 407 error code to the browser, then the browser will tell you "Need authentication !!!".

<html>
<head>
<title>Setting HTTP Status Code</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
   // 设置错误代码,并说明原因
   response.sendError(407, "Need authentication!!!" );
%>
</body>
</html>
