 ###### Definition -def-num- HTTP Status Code {#defn-http-status-code}

-**HTTP status codes** that can get returned by certain Offchain HTTP functions.
+An enumerated data type that holds a finite set of distinct variants that gets SCALE-encoded as described in ([Definition -def-num-ref-](id-cryptography-encoding#defn-scale-variable-type)) and returned by offchain http functions. The set of variants is defined as follows.
 
-- `0`: the specified request identifier is invalid.
+| Id  | Name                    | Description                                                |
+|-----|-------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------|
+| 0   | *DeadlineReached*       | the deadline for the started request was reached.          |
+| 1   | *IoError*               | an error has occurred during the request.                  |
+| 2   | *Invalid*               | the specified request identifier is invalid.               |
+| 3   | *Finished(http_status)* | the request has finished with the given HTTP status code.  |
 
-- `10`: the deadline for the started request was reached.
-
-- `20`: an error has occurred during the request, e.g. a timeout or the remote server has closed the connection. On returning this error code, the request is considered destroyed and must be reconstructed again.
+**where**
 
-- `100`-`999`: the request has finished with the given HTTP status code.
+- `http_status`: a 16-bit unsigned integer type representing the [HTTP status code](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status) to be returned.

 In particular, we define two specific varying data which are frequently used in various part of Polkadot protocol: *Option* ([Definition -def-num-ref-](id-cryptography-encoding#defn-option-type)) and *Result* ([Definition -def-num-ref-](id-cryptography-encoding#defn-result-type)).
