The HTTP 200 OK success status response code indicates that the request has succeeded. A 200 response is cacheable by default.

The meaning of a success depends on the HTTP request method:

• {{HTTPMethod("GET")}}: The resource has been fetched and is transmitted in the message body.

• {{HTTPMethod("HEAD")}}: The representation headers are included in the response without any message body

• {{HTTPMethod("POST")}}: The resource describing the result of the action is transmitted in the message body

• {{HTTPMethod("TRACE")}}: The message body contains the request message as received by the server.

The successful result of a {{HTTPMethod("PUT")}} or a {{HTTPMethod("DELETE")}} is often not a 200 OK but a {{HTTPStatus("204")}} No Content (or a {{HTTPStatus("201")}} Created when the resource is uploaded for the first time).
