HTTP 205 Reset Content

Success

Like 204, but additionally tells the client to reset the document view — e.g. clear the form that produced the request.

Defined in RFC 9110

Common causes

  • Form-submission endpoints that want the UI cleared afterwards

How to fix it

  1. Nothing to fix — handle it like 204 plus a UI reset

Related status codes

204 No Content

The request succeeded and there is intentionally no response body. Typical for DELETE operations and for PUT/PATCH when the server returns nothing.
