}What is HTTP 205 Reset Content?
HTTP 205 Reset Content indicates that the server successfully processed the request and is asking the user agent to reset the document view which sent this request. This is typically used to clear forms after submission.
- Reset Document: The client should reset the view to its original state
- Form Clearing: Commonly used to clear forms after successful submission
- No Response Body: Like 204, this includes no content in the response
- User Agent Action: Instructs the browser to take specific action
When Does This Happen?
A 205 Reset Content response is returned when the server wants the client to reset its view after a successful operation. You'll see this status code when:
- Submitting forms that should be cleared after submission
- Data entry interfaces that need to reset for the next entry
- Survey or questionnaire submissions
- Batch data entry systems
- Any scenario where the UI should reset after successful submission
