Is it possible to design your application to handle 409 HTTP errors gracefully?
Quote from datarecovee on September 23, 2025, 11:58The best way to deal with Error Code 409 is to establish well-constituted error-catching logic in the code. Upon receiving a 409 Conflict, the application is expected to retrieve the current state of the resources, show the differences to the user, and permit him or her to merge or choose which side to retain. This proactive strategy will turn a frustrating Http Error 409 into a manageable user process.
