Gone
General explanation of the 410 status code
The HTTP status code 410 Gone means the requested resource is no longer available on the server. It indicates that the resource was deliberately removed and will probably not be available again. This status code is used when a website is shut down or an API version is no longer supported. If a client receives a 410 Gone status code, it should assume the resource is no longer available and should not try to access it again.
Specification of the HTTP status code 410
The 410 Gone status code indicates that access to the target resource is no longer available at the origin server and that this condition is likely to be permanent. If the origin server does not
know, or has no facility to determine, whether or not the condition is permanent, the status code 404 (Not Found) ought to be used instead.
The 410 Gone response is primarily intended to assist the task of web maintenance by notifying the recipient that the resource is intentionally unavailable and that the server owners desire that remote links to that resource be removed. Such an event is common for limited-time, promotional services and for resources belonging to individuals no longer associated with the origin server's site. It is not necessary to mark all permanently unavailable resources as "gone" or to keep the mark for any length of time -- that is left to the discretion of the server owner.
A 410 Gone response is cacheable by default; i.e., unless otherwise indicated by the method definition or explicit cache controls (see Section 4.2.2 of [RFC7234]).
Source / Quote by: The 410 Gone HTTP Status Code is specified by section 6.5.9 of RFC7231.
