HTTP-Status: 400-417

400 Bad Request

The server did not understand your request. An improperly typed URL is usually the cause. If not that, there could be a problem with the document itself.

401 Unauthorized

This URL probably requires a username and password. Try submitting them again in case you made an error. If the password doesn't seem to work, contact the site administrator to resolve the problem.

402 Payment Required

This is intended to return acceptable payment options. Not presently used.

403 Forbidden

You tried to access a URL for which you don't have permission. If you usually can access this document, there might be a problem with the server. If so, contact the site administrator.

404 Not Found

This is probably the most common status code. Your browser cannot locate the document corresponding to the URL you entered. An improperly typed URL is usually the cause. The document may also have been moved. If you cannot find it elsewhere on the site, it may have been permanently removed.

405 Method Not Allowed

You may be attempting to run a script that is not supported. Some ISPs do not allow scripts on their servers, which could result in this status code. For an explanation of methods in HTTP headers see this page of the HTTP/1.1 protocol

406 Not Acceptable

It’s possible you have requested a page that contains files which your browser has indicated to the server that it cannot accept, for example, a multimedia file that your browser cannot process. Your browser sends information about what files it can accept to the server (in the HTTP header) as part of a request. You might check the preferences settings of your browser to see if there are file types it is not accepting.

407 Proxy Authentication Required

There is a proxy server between your client and the server you are requesting the page from that requires a username and password.

408 Request Timeout

The request took longer than allowed to complete. Try the request again. If this error continues to appear, try waiting a few hours before repeating the request

409 Conflict

Conflicts are likely to occur where an inappropriate alteration of the resource is being attempted.

410 Gone

A 410 status code is returned if the new address is altogether unavailable or the server admin does not want to reveal it.

411 Length Required

Your client did not define the length of the requested content in the request header.

412 Precondition Failed

The header of the request specified information about acceptable files that is not applicable to the requested file.

413 Request Entity Too Large

The content of the request is more than the server can process. The request may have included a message body, which is not always permissible.

414 Request-URL Too Long

Since a POST request allows for an unlimited amount of data to be sent to a server by tagging it on to the request, if the request were converted to a GET request this error could result. Additionally, since a GET request allows for appending of search or form data in the header, the URL created could be longer than acceptable.

415 Unsupported Media Type

There may have been an error in the MIME type indicated in the request header, i.e., your browser might have requested an image file, when in fact the requested file is an application.

416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable

Your browser, which sends information on acceptable file size as part of its request, may have requested a file that does not fit these parameters. See the HTTP protocol for more information.

417 Expectation Failed

The Expect request-header field is used to indicate that particular server behaviors are required by the client. The server could not execute these expectations.
