HTTP 207 Multi-Status

What does HTTP 207 mean?

WebDAV: the body contains separate status codes for several resources. Returned for WebDAV operations that touch many files at once (PROPFIND, COPY, MOVE). The XML body lists a status per resource, so one request can partly succeed.

2xx Success: The request was received, understood and accepted.
