Revision 1111705 of 204 No Content

<div>{{HTTPSidebar}}</div>

<p>The HTTP <strong><code>204 No Content</code></strong> success status response code indicates that the request has succeed, but that the client doesn't need to go away from its current page. A 204 response is cacheable by default. An {{HTTPHeader("ETag")}} header is included in such a response.</p>

<p>The common use case is to return <code>204</code> as a result of a {{HTTPMethod("PUT")}} request, updating a resource, without changing the current content of the page displayed to the user. If the resource is created, {{HTTPStatus("201")}} <code>Created</code> is returned instead. If the page should be changed to the newly updated page, the {{HTTPStatus("200")}} should be used instead.</p>
