 > The 409 (Conflict) status code indicates that the request could not be
 completed due to '''a conflict with the current state of the target
 resource'''. This code is used in situations where '''the user might be
 able to resolve the conflict''' and resubmit the request. '''The server
 SHOULD generate a payload that includes enough informatio'''n for a user
 to recognize the source of the conflict.
