207 Multi-Status

The HTTP 207 Multi-Status successful response status code indicates a mixture of responses. This response is used exclusively in the context of Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV).
The response body is a text/xml or application/xml HTTP entity with a multistatus root element that lists individual response codes.
Note: Browsers accessing web pages will never encounter this status code. The ability to return a collection of resources is part of the WebDAV protocol and is only encountered by web applications that access a WebDAV server.
