4. Arrow pointed to the right means sent packet (figure 1). If we click on the request packet
we would see the following information which is carried inside a DNS request packet
5. Packet having the arrow pointed to left while request packet is selected is the
response packet. Figure 3 shows the response packet of DNS request
2. Clicking on the outgoing packet shows the HTTP request packet sent to google
server by your web browser. Please notice all the request fields carefully
4. Right click on any of the packets and select the follow menu to track the packet stream

See pages with specific response code type http.response.code. List of Response
codes
200 OK
Standard response for successful HTTP requests. The actual response will depend on
the request method used. In a GET request, the response will contain an entity
corresponding to the requested resource. In a POST request, the response will contain
an entity describing or containing the result of the action.[7]
201 Created
The request has been fulfilled, resulting in the creation of a new resource. [8]
202 Accepted
The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been
completed. The request might or might not be eventually acted upon, and may be
disallowed when processing occurs.

203 Non-Authoritative Information (since HTTP/1.1)
The server is a transforming proxy (e.g. a Web accelerator) that received a 200 OK from
its origin, but is returning a modified version of the origin's response.
204 No Content
The server successfully processed the request and is not returning any content.
The message body that follows is an XML message and can contain a number of
separate response codes, depending on how many sub-requests were made.
