2XX – SUCCESS (the request was successfully received, understood, and accepted. This class of status code indicates that the client’s request was successfully received, understood, and accepted)
3XX – REDIRECTION (further action needs to be taken in order to complete the request. This class of status code indicates that further action needs to be taken by the user agent in order to fulfill the request)
