When (if ever) would a DSS REST API client get http 201 or 3xx responses?

A question arose on some of the documented http response codes listed at a link from the DSS API here: https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi.Help/Home/StatusCodes. The questions was specifically on the 201 and the 3xx responses listed. There are valid http codes, but do they ever occur with DSS and if so under what circumstances?

@mrr, One circumstance which I have found the status code 201 is creating Instrument List or Report Template. Please refer to REST API Reference Tree.

@mrr,

For DSS I have personally never observed HTTP status codes 201 or 3xx. That does not mean it could not happen, but I cannot think of a case where it would.

For TRTH a 302 (redirect) will occur if you download the resulting data from AWS, as described in the article on boosting TRTH downloads with AWS.

Thank you both. I have confirmed that a 201 response code is sent when an instrumet list is created.
