## 17.3 Server Responses

The server's response to a client request is grouped into three parts. The first line is the server response line, which contains the HTTP version number, a number indicating the status of the request, and a short phrase describing the status. The response line is followed by the header information and an entity body if there is one.

The server response codes are covered in Chapter 18, Server Response Codes. Server response headers are covered in Chapter 19, HTTP Headers.
