A 409 Status Code will be found in the headers and the body of the response and should be analyzed attentively by a developer. The server may also carry a simple message as to the nature of the conflict, as in an ETag or a Last-Modified timestamp. The information can be used to programmatically address the HTTP 409 problem whereby the client application can modify its request to reflect the most current version of the resource.
