An activity diagram (available as PNG/SVG/JSON) that maps how HTTP response status codes are resolved given request headers and caching rules, based on RFC 7230-7235. It also includes companion diagrams for HTTP cache-retrieve and cache-store decisions.

Use cases

understand how HTTP status codes are decided from request headers
learn HTTP caching rules visually
implement correct HTTP cache-store and cache-retrieve logic
reference diagram for building an HTTP server or client
study RFC 7230-7235 status code resolution
debug why a request returns 304 or 412

When to choose

you need a visual, spec-aligned reference for HTTP status code and caching semantics
you are implementing an HTTP server, proxy, or cache and want a decision flowchart
you want machine-readable (JSON) state machine data for HTTP decisions

When to avoid

you need a runnable HTTP library or framework rather than a diagram
you need HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 semantics, which the RFC 723x-based diagram does not cover
you need an actively developed tool with frequent updates
