# set status code

This block is part of the [`http connection`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/http%20connection) group and was last modified in core [`v10.4.28`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/100428).

Updates the status code

- flow `flow`

- connection required `httpconnection`

- code required `number`

- flow `flow`

- connection `httpconnection`

Sets the HTTP status code on the response without sending anything : pair it with a set_json/set_text reply or the endpoint's default response. An unwired code pin defaults to 200; an unwired or nil connection does nothing and outputs nil.

A typical wiring for [set status code](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/http%2520connection/httpconnection_set_status_code): a [function trigger](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/globals/trigger_custom_function) starts the flow; the `flow` out pin feeds [debug](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%2520ui/state_debug).
