Title: HTTP Status Codes for Toddlers
Post by: Thorin on July 21, 2009, 11:12:02 AM
The article is titled "REST for Toddlers", but there's more to REST than just status codes...  I found the interpretation of each status code in toddler-language hilarious!

That's something the toddler asks...  All of these are responses from parents to toddlers.  And if a toddler asked me, "Why?", enough times, I'd probably answer with a 204 No Content (aka "I don't know!").

204
That is the ONLY answer for the ultimate "Why?" question. I can definitely tell you're a parent :D
