Http Code

410

Gone

The server understands the request but fails to serve it as the asked resource is no longer available and it is likely to stay unavailable permanently. If the server is not sure if the unavailability condition is permanent, a 404 code ought to be returned.

Use Case

Amazon was hosting a flat 30% sale on all its products on the page amazon.com/flat-30 for a limited time period. Now, a user tries to access it beyond the said period and the server sends a 410 code, indicating that the particular page is permanently removed.
