HTTP 208 Already Reported
Members of a DAV binding have already been enumerated in a previous reply.
2xx Success
208
Already Reported
Description
The 208 Already Reported status code is used inside a DAV:propstat response element to avoid enumerating the internal members of multiple bindings to the same collection repeatedly. For each binding to a collection inside the request's scope, only one will be reported with a 200 status, while subsequent DAV:response elements for all other bindings will use 208, and no additional members of that collection will be listed. This prevents the server from having to duplicate large amounts of data in a multistatus response when the same collection is bound in multiple locations.
When Is It Used?
Used in WebDAV when a resource has been bound to multiple URIs. After reporting the resource once, subsequent references use 208 to indicate the members have already been listed, preventing duplication in the response.
