Due to an infrastructure upgrade, please expect the Status header value of all StreamSend API requests to begin including the HTTP reason phrase beginning today. A typical value will look like

200 OK

Be advised the Status header is not specified by the HTTP spec and, as such, contents of the header are at the discretion of the web or application server implementation. Your existing API integration might rely on this value as most web servers include the header in the response.

The status line, however, is part of the HTTP spec and you can count on it's format remaining consistent. The status line looks like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Your safest course of action is to parse the status line in order to determine the result of your request. You might also consider using an HTTP library that handles these details and provides an API to your application.

If you need support in this transition please contact StreamSend support. Contact information is available at

We also have an API discussion group monitored by StreamSend support and Engineering
