# nng_http_res_set_status(3http) Manual Page

## NAME

nng_http_res_set_status - set HTTP response status

## SYNOPSIS

    #include <nng/nng.h>
    #include <nng/supplemental/http/http.h>

    int nng_http_res_set_status(nng_http_res *res, uint16_t status);

## DESCRIPTION

The `nng_http_res_set_status()` sets the numeric HTTP status code associated with the response res to status. The default value for a newly allocated response is 200 (`NNG_HTTP_STATUS_OK`).

The status is not verified, so the caller should take care to ensure that only a valid code is supplied.

For convenience, a number of predefined symbols are available.

Please see the relevant HTTP RFCs for the semantics and correct use of these status codes.

| It is a good idea to also set the reason message with `nng_http_set_reason()`. This will help any humans who may have to diagnose a failure.

## RETURN VALUES

This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
