424
Client Error
424 Failed Dependency
The request failed because it depended on another request that failed (WebDAV).
Description
424 Failed Dependency is a WebDAV status code (RFC 4918) indicating that the method could not be performed on the resource because the requested action depended on another action which failed.
In REST batch APIs, it indicates that an operation was not attempted because a prerequisite operation in the same batch failed.
Common Causes
- WebDAV MOVE failed because a dependent resource couldn't be moved
- Batch API: item B failed because item A (which it depends on) failed first
- Transaction chain where an intermediate step failed
How to Fix
- Identify and fix the root cause failure first
- In batch APIs, process items independently where possible
- Return clear dependency information in error responses
- Implement retry logic for the entire batch starting from the first failure
