Explanation
HTTP status codes are grouped by their first digit: 1xx = Informational, 2xx = Success, 3xx = Redirection, 4xx = Client Errors, 5xx = Server Errors. A 400 Bad Request specifically indicates the server rejected the request due to a client-side issue such as malformed syntax, invalid parameters, or missing required data. Status 100 (A) is an informational 'Continue' response. Status 203 (B) is a successful 'Non-Authoritative Information' response. Status 303 (C) is a redirection 'See Other' response. Only the 4xx range represents client errors.
