HTTP Status Code: 202 - Accepted

The request has been received but not yet acted upon. It is non-committal, meaning that there is no way in HTTP to later send an asynchronous response indicating the outcome of processing the request. It is intended for cases where another process or server handles the request, or for batch processing.

HTTP Status Code: 202 - Accepted

The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not eventually be acted upon, as it might be disallowed when processing actually takes place. There is no facility for re-sending a status code from an asynchronous operation such as this.

The 202 response is intentionally non-committal. Its purpose is to allow a server to accept a request for some other process (perhaps a batch-oriented process that is only run once per day) without requiring that the user agent's connection to the server persist until the process is completed. The entity returned with this response SHOULD include an indication of the request's current status and either a pointer to a status monitor or some estimate of when the user can expect the request to be fulfilled.

HTTP Status Code 402 - Payment Required

This response code is reserved for future use. Initial aim for creating this code was using it for digital payment systems however this is not used currently. Wikipedia Reserved for future use. The original intention was that this code might be used as part of some form of digital cash or micropayment scheme, but that has not happened, and this code is not usually used. As an example of its use, however, Apple's MobileMe service generates a 402 error ("httpStatusCode:402" in the Mac OS X Console log) if the MobileMe account is delinquent.

HTTP Status Code 406 - Not Acceptable

The target resource does not have a current representation that would be acceptable to the user agent, according to the proactive negotiation header fields received in the request, and the server is unwilling to supply a default representation. The server SHOULD generate a payload containing a list of available representation characteristics and corresponding resource identifiers from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. A user agent MAY automatically select the most appropriate choice from that list. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection. This response is sent when the web server, after performing server-driven content negotiation, doesn't find any content following the criteria given by the user agent. The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the reques...

HTTP Status Code 400 - Bad Request

This response means that server could not understand the request due to invalid syntax. The server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing). The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications. Wikipedia The request cannot be fulfilled due to bad syntax. General error when fulfilling the request would cause an invalid state. Domain validation errors, missing data, etc. are some examples.
