Hi Harshith,

The 401 (Unauthorized) response message is used by an origin server to
challenge the authorization of a user agent.

401 response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field containing at
least one challenge applicable to the requested resource.

The 407 (Proxy Authentication Required) response message is used by a proxy
to challenge the authorization of a client and MUST include a
Proxy-Authenticate header field containing at least one challenge
applicable to the proxy for the requested resource.
