The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of
|
|
|
|
|
the target resource. This code is used in situations where the user might be
|
|
|
|
|
able to resolve the conflict and resubmit the request.

The server SHOULD generate a payload that includes enough information for a user
|
|
|
|
|
to recognize the source of the conflict.

Conflicts are most likely to occur in response to a PUT request. For example, if
|
|
|
|
|
versioning were being used and the representation being PUT included changes to
|
|
|
|
|
a resource that conflict with those made by an earlier (third-party) request,
|
|
|
|
|
the origin server might use a 409 response to indicate that it can't complete
|
|
|
|
|
the request. In this case, the response representation would likely contain
|
|
|
|
|
information useful for merging the differences based on the revision history.
