A long time ago, in a datacenter far, far away, a lone browser sent a humble HTTP request.
The firewalls were calm, the routers were aligned, and the load balancer felt a great disturbance in the logs.
The server received the call, processed it with Jedi-like precision, and found… nothing more to say.
No JSON. No HTML. No images, not even a lonely div. Only a silent status whispered through the wires: 204 – No Content.
Yet the request was successful, and peace returned to the network. The clients understood that sometimes, in the vast galaxy of responses, silence is the most valid reply of all.
And so the packets move on, seeking new endpoints and fresh payloads, while this response remains forever empty, but perfectly compliant with the will of the RFC.
