NE_STATUS(3)                  neon API reference                  NE_STATUS(3)

NAME
       ne_status - HTTP status structure

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ne_utils.h>

       typedef struct {
           int major_version;
           int minor_version;
           int code;
           int klass;
           char *reason_phrase;
       } ne_status;

DESCRIPTION
       The ne_status type represents an HTTP response status; used in response
       messages giving a result of request. The major_version and
       minor_version fields give the protocol version supported by the server
       issuing the response. The code field gives the status code of the
       result (lying between 100 and 599 inclusive), and the klass field gives
       the class, which is equal to the most significant digit of the status.
       The reason_phrase field gives a human-readable string describing the
       status, which is purely informational (and optional) - any
       interpretation of the response status must be done using the klass
       and/or code fields.

       There are five classes of response status code defined for HTTP/1.1
       (see RFC 9110 <section>15[1]):

       1xx
           Informational response.

       2xx
           Success: the operation was successful

       3xx
           Redirection

       4xx
           Client error: the request made was incorrect in some manner.

       5xx
           Server error

NOTES
       The klass field is named "klass" not "class" so that the header can be
       used from a C++ program, in which "class" is a reserved word.
