Web Server Result (HTML Error) Codes
200 Series:
- 200 - OK - Successful transmission. This is not an error.
The file you requested was found, here it is.
- 201 - Created - The request has been fulfilled and resulted
in a new resource being created. The newly created resource
can be referenced by the URL(s) returned in the URL-header
field of the response, with the most specific URL for
the resource given by a Location header field.
- 202 - Accepted - The request has been accepted for processing,
but the processing has not yet completed.
- 203 - Non-Authoritative Information - The returned META
information in the Entity-Header is not the definitive
set as available from the origin server. but is gathered
from a local or third-party copy.
- 204 - No Content - The server has fulfilled the request,
but there is no new information to send back.
- 206 - Partial Content - you requested a range of bytes
in the file, and here they are. This is new in HTTP/1.1
300 Series:
- 300 - Multiple Choices - The requested source is available
at one or more locations and a preferred location could
not be determined via content negotiation.
- 301 - Moved Permanently - The requested resource has
been assigned a new permanent URL and any future references
to this resource should be done using one of the returned
URLs.
- 302 - Moved Temporarily - The requested resource resides
temporarily under a new URL. Redirection to a new URL.
The original page has moved. This is not an error; most
browsers invisibly fetch the new page upon seeing this
result.
- 303 - See Other - The requested resource resides under
a different URL and should be accessed using a Get method
on that resource.
- 304 - Not Modified - If the client has performed a conditional
GET request and access is allowed, but the document has
not been modified since the date and time specified in
the If-Modified-Since field, the server responds with
this status code and does not send an Entity-Body to the
client. Use local copy. This means that the copy of the
file on the web server is not newer than the copy which
your web browser or proxy server has cached locally, so
there's no point in sending the file again. This is not
an error. The file hasn't changed since the last time
you asked for it, so I'm not going to send it again.
400 Series:
- 400 - Bad Request - The request could not be understood
by the server due to it having a malformed syntax. Bad
request was made by the client.
- 401 - Unauthorized - The request requires user authentication.
The response must include a WWW-Authenticate header field
containing a challenge applicable to the requested source.
The user asked for a document but did not provide a valid
username or password.
- 402 - Payment Required - This code is not currently
supported, but is reserved for future use.
- 403 - Forbidden - The server understood the request
but is refusing to perform the request because of an unspecified
reason. Access is explicitly denied to this document.
(This might happen because the web server doesn't have
read permission for the file you're requesting.) The server
refuses to send you this file. Maybe permission has been
explicitly turned off.
- 404 - Not Found - The server has not found anything
matching the requested URL. This file doesn't exist. What
you get if you give a bad URL to your browser. This can
also be sent if the server has been told to protect the
document by telling unauthorized people that it doesn't
exist. 404 errors are the result of requests for pages
which do not exist, and can come from a mistyped URL,
a bookmark which points to a file no longer there, search
engines looking for a robots.txt (which is used to mark
pages you don't want indexed by search engines), people
guessing filenames, bad links from your site or other
sites, etc.
- 405 - Method Not Allowed - The method specified in the
request line is not allowed for the resource identified
by the request URL.
- 406 - None Acceptable - The server has found a resource
matching the request URL, but not one that satisfies the
conditions identified by the Accept and Accept-Encoding
request headers.
- 407 - Proxy Authentication Required - This code is reserved
for future use. It is similar to 401 (Unauthorized) but
indicates that the client must first authenticate itself
with a proxy. HTTP/1.0 does not provide a means for proxy
authentication.
- 408 - Request Timeout - The client did not produce a
request within the time the server was prepared to wait.
- 409 - Conflict - The request could not be completed
due to a conflict with the current state of the resource.
- 410 - Gone - The requested resource is no longer available
at the server and no forwarding address is known.
- 411 - Authorization Refused - The request credentials
provided by the client were rejected by the server or
insufficient to grant authorization to access the resource.
- 412 - Precondition Failed
- 413 - Request Entity Too Large
- 414 - Request URI Too Large
- 415 - Unsupported Media Type
500 Series:
- 500 - Internal Server Error - The server encountered
an unexpected condition that prevented it from filling
the request. Something went wrong with the web server
and it couldn't give you a meaningful response. There
is usually nothing that can be done from the browser end
to fix this error; the server administrator will probably
need to check the server's error log to see what happened.
This is often the error message for a CGI script which
has not been properly coded.
- 501 - Method Not Implemented - The server does not support
the functionality required to fulfill the request. Application
method (either GET or POST) is not implemented.
- 502 - Bad Gateway - The server received an invalid response
from the gateway or upstream server it accessed in attempting
to fulfill the request.
- 503 - Service Temporarily Unavailable - The server is
currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary
overloading or maintenance of the server. Server is out
of resources.
- 504 - Gateway Timeout - The server did not receive a
timely response from the gateway or upstream server it
accessed in attempting to complete the request.
- 505 - HTTP Version Not Supported
- 8181 - Certificate has expired (secure server only).
