Multi-Status

The 207 Multi-Status HTTP status code is used to convey information about multiple resources in situations where multiple status codes might be appropriate for a single response. Typically utilized in WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) scenarios, this response code delivers numerous distinct response codes applicable to individual parts of a compound request. For instance, if a client issues a request affecting multiple resources – such as a batch update – the server can use the 207 Multi-Status response to encapsulate the outcome of each operation in a single response body. Each part of the response is then annotated with its own status code and, optionally, data. This capability makes the 207 Multi-Status particularly valuable for applications that perform operations on multiple resources in a single transaction, enabling efficient feedback with detailed error reporting or success messages for each specific action taken.
