Table 3.2 lists the HTTP status code constants defined by the HttpServletResponse interface and used as parameters to its setStatus() and sendError() methods. The version number in the last column refers to the HTTP protocol version that first defined the status code. The Servlet API 2.0 added constants for HTTP Version 1.1 status codes.

For more information on HTTP, see Web Client Programming by Clinton Wong (O’Reilly). The proposed HTTP/1.1 specification is available in RFC 2068 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2068.txt.
