Question 10

What does 202 (Accepted) commit the server to?

  1. The request has been validated and queued, so it cannot subsequently be rejected
  2. Nothing beyond acceptance for processing; the request might or might not eventually be acted uponCorrect answer
  3. The request will be performed, but the result is not yet available
  4. The request will be performed and the final status code will be delivered on a later connection

Explanation

The spec calls 202 intentionally noncommittal: the work may be disallowed when processing actually takes place, and there is no facility in HTTP for re-sending a status code from an asynchronous operation. The recommended practice is to return a representation pointing at a status monitor.
