Processing

Server perspective

Use 102 as an interim WebDAV response when processing is underway and the final status is not ready yet.

When to use

• •Return 102 for long-running WebDAV methods that may otherwise look stalled
• •Use it before a later final response such as 207, 204, or an error

How to respond

• •Send 102 only when the operation is genuinely still in progress
• •Follow it with a normal final response once processing completes

Headers to consider

• •No status-specific header is required; the later final response carries the real outcome metadata.

Response body

• •Do not include a response body in a 102 response

Server-side pitfalls

• •Do not use 102 as a substitute for a proper async job resource
• •Do not leave the client without a later final response
