* **`300 - 399`** are for "Redirection".  Responses with these status codes may or may not have a body, except for `304`, "Not Modified", which must not have one.
* **`400 - 499`** are for "Client error" responses. These are the second type you would probably use the most.
    * An example is `404`, for a "Not Found" response.

```Python
contents = myfile.file.read()

When you use the `async` methods, **FastAPI** runs the file methods in a threadpool and awaits for them.

## Forbid Extra Form Fields { #forbid-extra-form-fields }

In some special use cases (probably not very common), you might want to **restrict** the form fields to only those declared in the Pydantic model. And **forbid** any **extra** fields.

/// note

This is supported since FastAPI version `0.114.0`. 🤓

///

You can use Pydantic's model configuration to `forbid` any `extra` fields:

By declaring a *path operation function* parameter with the type being the `Request` **FastAPI** will know to pass the `Request` in that parameter.

/// tip

Note that in this case, we are declaring a path parameter beside the request parameter.

So, the path parameter will be extracted, validated, converted to the specified type and annotated with OpenAPI.

The query parameter `q` is of type `str | None`, that means that it's of type `str` but could also be `None`, and indeed, the default value is `None`, so FastAPI will know it's not required.

/// note

FastAPI will know that the value of `q` is not required because of the default value `= None`.

Having `str | None` will allow your editor to give you better support and detect errors.

///

As, by default, singular values are interpreted as query parameters, you don't have to explicitly add a `Query`, you can just do:

```Python
q: Union[str, None] = None
```

Or in Python 3.10 and above:

```Python
q: str | None = None
```

For example:

{* ../../docs_src/body_multiple_params/tutorial004_an_py310.py hl[28] *}


/// info

* It then takes the **response** generated by the application (by some *path operation*).
* It can do something to that **response** or run any needed code.
* Then it returns the **response**.

/// note | Technical Details

If you have dependencies with `yield`, the exit code will run *after* the middleware.

{* ../../docs_src/templates/tutorial001.py hl[4,11,15:18] *}

/// note

Before FastAPI 0.108.0, Starlette 0.29.0, the `name` was the first parameter.

Also, before that, in previous versions, the `request` object was passed as part of the key-value pairs in the context for Jinja2.

///

participant handler as Exception handler
participant dep as Dep with yield
participant operation as Path Operation
participant tasks as Background tasks

    Note over client,operation: Can raise exceptions, including HTTPException
    client ->> dep: Start request
    Note over dep: Run code up to yield
    opt raise Exception
        dep -->> handler: Raise Exception
        handler -->> client: HTTP error response
    end

/// note

A path parameter is always required as it has to be part of the path. Even if you declared it with `None` or set a default value, it would not affect anything, it would still be always required.

///

## Order the parameters as you need { #order-the-parameters-as-you-need }

/// tip

This is probably not as important or necessary if you use `Annotated`.
