💖 NAME 💖

ne_status — the HTTP status structure, bestie. it's giving "what did the server even say back" energy ✨

this page is from the neon API reference (yes, neon, and yes, third section of the manual, 3) 🎀

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <ne_utils.h>

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so ne_status is the type that represents an HTTP response status — the thing you get back in response messages telling you the result of a request. literally the receipts of your HTTP call 💅

here's the field-by-field vibe check:

  • major_version and minor_version — these two give the protocol version supported by the server that's issuing the response 🫶
  • code — the status code of the result, and no cap it lies between 100 and 599 inclusive ✨
  • klass — the class, which equals the most significant digit of the status 👑
  • reason_phrase — a human-readable string describing the status. it's purely informational (and optional), so any interpretation of the response status must be done using the klass and/or code fields — not this one, bestie 😭

🌸 the five classes of response status code

there are five classes of response status code defined for HTTP/1.1 (see RFC 9110 §15 — link down in REFERENCES, iykyk) 🔥

  • 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 🧚

so why is it called klass and not class? not me about to explain — it's because the header needs to be usable from a C++ program, and in C++ class is a reserved word. so klass it is, periodt 💜
