Gated-execute on Twelve HTTP status codes, by the book

The current HTTP Semantics specification is RFC 9110, which I read at https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html. Of these twelve codes, seven are heuristically cacheable (203, 206, 308, 405, 410, 414, 501) and five are not (303, 307, 413, 421, 422).

How cacheability was decided: Section 15.1 of the spec lists the heuristically cacheable codes: "Responses with status codes that are defined as heuristically cacheable (e.g., 200, 203, 204, 206, 300, 301, 308, 404, 405, 410, 414, and 501 in this specification)". It then says that "all other status codes are not heuristically cacheable." Each code marked true below also says so in its own section. For example, §15.3.4 says "A 203 response is heuristically cacheable". The sections for 303, 307, 413, 421 and 422 have no such statement.

One wording difference: for 206, the spec says "unless otherwise indicated by explicit cache controls". It leaves out "the method definition", which appears in the wording for the other cacheable codes.

All quotes come from each code's own numbered section on that page. On the page the text wraps across several lines; in the quotes below I joined it with single spaces.
