203 Non-Authoritative Information
This response code indicates that the request sent was success, but was modified. The request was modified by a 3rd party. Usually a transforming proxy that makes changes between the origin and the receiving server.
While 203 is like the other warning code 214 [Transformation Applied], this [203] code usually happens when changes are made to the header.
Most users will see this if a proxy, or some other 3rd party, has modified header data from the original website, or server.
The HTTP 203 Non-Authoritative Information
response status indicates that the request was successful but the enclosed payload has been modified by a transforming proxy from that of the origin server’s 200
(OK
) response .
The 203
response is similar to the value 214
, meaning Transformation Applied
, of the Warning
header code, which has the additional advantage of being applicable to responses with any status code.
