Master client-server responses with the HTTP Status Codes Directory

Web architectures rely on status headers to communicate request outcomes securely. From standard success states like 200 OK and 201 Created, redirections like 301 and 304, to client limits (429 Rate Limited, 403 Forbidden) and server crashes (502 Bad Gateway), understanding response layers helps developers build high-reliability APIs.
