The 422 Unprocessable Entity status code means the server understands the
|
2015-11-07 05:34:40 +01:00
|
|
|
content type of the request entity (hence a [415 (Unsupported Media Type)](/415)
|
|
|
|
status code is inappropriate), and the syntax of the request entity is correct
|
|
|
|
(thus a [400 (Bad Request)](/400) status code is inappropriate) but was unable
|
2015-11-07 06:45:46 +01:00
|
|
|
to process the contained instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, this error condition may occur if an XML request body contains
|
|
|
|
well-formed (i.e., syntactically correct), but semantically erroneous, XML
|
|
|
|
instructions.
