The 422 (Unprocessable Entity) status code means the server understands the
|
|
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
|
|
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.
