These codes 1435 are fully defined in <a href="p2-semantics.html#status.codes" title="Status Code Definitions">Section 8</a> of <a href="#Part2" id="rfc.xref.Part2.8"><cite title="HTTP/1.1, part 2: Message Semantics">[Part2]</cite></a>. The Reason-Phrase is intended to give a short textual description of the Status-Code. The Status-Code is intended for use 1436 by automata and the Reason-Phrase is intended for the human user. The client is not required to examine or display the Reason-Phrase. 1435 are fully defined in <a href="p2-semantics.html#status.codes" title="Status Code Definitions">Section 8</a> of <a href="#Part2" id="rfc.xref.Part2.8"><cite title="HTTP/1.1, part 2: Message Semantics">[Part2]</cite></a>. The Reason Phrase exists for the sole purpose of providing a textual description associated with the numeric status code, 1436 out of deference to earlier Internet application protocols that were more frequently used with interactive text clients. A 1437 client <em class="bcp14">SHOULD</em> ignore the content of the Reason Phrase. 1437 1438 </p> 1438 1439 <p id="rfc.section.6.1.1.p.2">The first digit of the Status-Code defines the class of response. The last two digits do not have any categorization role.
