What should the HTTP response code be for an endpoint whose role is to load a server cache?-CodePudding

I need to create an endpoint that loads a server cache when called (for instance "POST cache/load") but I don't want that endpoint to load the cache if it's already loaded. Therefore, I want to differentiate, in my responses, the two following cases :

"I loaded the cache, everything went fine"
"The cache is already loaded, everything is fine"

Now the question is, what are the appropriate HTTP response codes ?

I currently use 201 when the cache has been loaded and 200 if the cache is already loaded.

200 for both. That's all that the components in the transfer of documents over a network domain need to know.

The implementation specific details belong in the body of the response.
