423 Locked

The HTTP 423 Locked client error response status code indicates that a resource is locked, meaning it can't be accessed. Its response body should contain information in {{glossary("WebDAV")}}'s XML format.

[!NOTE] The ability to lock a resource to prevent conflicts is specific to some {{Glossary("WebDAV")}} servers. Browsers accessing web pages will never encounter this status code; in the erroneous cases it happens, they will handle it as a generic {{HTTPStatus(400)}} status code.
