Status Codes
============

Falcon provides a list of constants for common
`HTTP response status codes <http://httpstatus.es>`_.

For example:

.. code:: python

    # Override the default "200 OK" response status
    resp.status = falcon.HTTP_409

Or, using the more verbose name:

.. code:: python

    resp.status = falcon.HTTP_CONFLICT

Using these constants helps avoid typos and cuts down on the number of
string objects that must be created when preparing responses. However, starting
with Falcon version 3.0, an LRU is used to enable efficient use of
:class:`http.HTTPStatus` and bare ``int`` codes as well. Essentially, the WSGI
flavor of :attr:`resp.status <falcon.Response.status>` can now be set to
anything that :func:`~falcon.code_to_http_status` accepts:

.. code:: python

    resp.status = 201

ASGI :attr:`resp.status <falcon.asgi.Response.status>` also supports the same
broad selection of status types via :func:`~falcon.http_status_to_code`:

.. code:: python

    resp.status = HTTPStatus.CREATED

.. note::
    One notable difference between WSGI and ASGI is that the latter's HTTP
    `send <https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/specs/www.html#response-start-send-event>`__
    event defines ``status`` as an ``int`` code. Effectively, this precludes
    rendering a custom status line string or a non-standard status code that
    the ASGI app server is unaware of.

Falcon also provides a generic :class:`~.HTTPStatus` exception class. Simply
raise an instance of this class from any hook, middleware, or a responder to
stop handling the request and skip to the response handling. It takes status,
additional headers and body as input arguments.
