    2614    The client &SHOULD; continue with its request. This interim response is
    2615    used to inform the client that the initial part of the request has
    2616    been received and has not yet been rejected by the server. The client
    2617    &SHOULD; continue by sending the remainder of the request or, if the
    2618    request has already been completed, ignore this response. The server
    2619    &MUST; send a final response after the request has been completed.

    2621    use and handling of this status code.
     2613   The <x:dfn>100 (Continue)</x:dfn> status code indicates that the initial
     2614   part of a request has been received and has not yet been rejected by the
     2615   server. The server intends to send a final response after the request has
     2616   been fully received and acted upon.

     2619   When the request contains an <x:ref>Expect</x:ref> header field that
     2620   includes a <x:ref>100-continue</x:ref> expectation, the 100 response
     2621   indicates that the server wishes to receive the request payload body,
     2622   as described in <xref target="use.of.the.100.status"/>.  The client
     2623   ought to continue sending the request and discard the 100 response.

     2626   If the request did not contain an <x:ref>Expect</x:ref> header field
     2627   containing the <x:ref>100-continue</x:ref> expectation,
     2628   the client can simply discard this interim response.

     2636   The <x:dfn>101 (Switching Protocols)</x:dfn> status code indicates that the
     2637   server understands and is willing to comply with the client's request,
     2638   via the <x:ref>Upgrade</x:ref> header field (&header-upgrade;), for
    26312639   a change in the application protocol being used on this connection. The
    2632    server will switch protocols to those defined by the response's Upgrade

    2634    response.

    2636 <t>
    2637    The protocol &SHOULD; be switched only when it is advantageous to do
    2638    so. For example, switching to a newer version of HTTP is advantageous
    2639    over older versions, and switching to a real-time, synchronous
    2640    protocol might be advantageous when delivering resources that use
    2641    such features.
     2640   server will switch to the protocol(s) indicated within the response's

     2645   It is assumed that the server will only agree to switch protocols when
     2646   it is advantageous to do so. For example, switching to a newer version of
     2647   HTTP might be advantageous over older versions, and switching to a
     2648   real-time, synchronous protocol might be advantageous when delivering

    2794    The server has fulfilled the request and the user agent &SHOULD; reset
    2795    the document view which caused the request to be sent. This response
    2796    is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take place via
    2797    user input, followed by a clearing of the form in which the input is
    2798    given so that the user can easily initiate another input action.
     2799   The <x:dfn>205 (Reset Content)</x:dfn> status code indicates that the
     2800   server has fulfilled the request and desires that the user agent reset the
     2801   "document view", which caused the request to be sent, to its original state

    2802    receivers still need to parse the response according to the algorithm defined
    2803    in &message-body;.
     2805   This response is intended to support a common data entry use case where
     2806   the user receives content that supports data entry (a form, notepad,
     2807   canvas, etc.), enters or manipulates data in that space, causes the entered
     2808   data to be submitted in a request, and then the data entry mechanism is
     2809   reset for the next entry so that the user can easily initiate another
     2810   input action.

     2812<t>
     2813   Since the 205 status code implies that no additional content will be
     2814   provided in the payload, the server &MUST; send a message body of zero
     2815   length. In other words, the server &MUST; send a "Content-Length: 0" field
     2816   in a 205 response or close the connection immediately after sending the
     2817   blank line terminating the header section.
