You probably read before that you can set a default [Response Status Code](../tutorial/response-status-code.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

But in some cases you need to return a different status code than the default.

## Use case { #use-case }

For example, imagine that you want to return an HTTP status code of "OK" `200` by default.

But if the data didn't exist, you want to create it, and return an HTTP status code of "CREATED" `201`.

```
/files/{file_path:path}
```

In this case, the name of the parameter is `file_path`, and the last part, `:path`, tells it that the parameter should match any *path*.

So, you can use it with:

{* ../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial004.py hl[6] *}

/// tip

You might need the parameter to contain `/home/johndoe/myfile.txt`, with a leading slash (`/`).

Any HTTP (error) status code 401 "UNAUTHORIZED" is supposed to also return a `WWW-Authenticate` header.

In the case of bearer tokens (our case), the value of that header should be `Bearer`.

You can actually skip that extra header and it would still work.

But it's provided here to be compliant with the specifications.
