205 Reset Content

Meaning

The server successfully processed the request, and is not returning content, but it expects the client to reset the document view that sent the request.

When to Use

When you want the client to clear form input or reset the UI after a successful action, without returning content.

Example

After a form submission that clears data, the server returns 205 Reset Content to instruct the client to reset the form view.

When Not to Use

Do not use if the client should not reset its view or if you need to return content (use 204 for no content without requiring a reset).
