HTTP_STATUS_RESET_CONTENT

This status is intended for workflows such as data-entry forms: the server completed the operation and asks the client to restore the form or document view to its original state.

Like 204, a 205 response must not contain a message body. Applications should not interpret it as a request to reload unrelated resources or repeat the completed operation.
