Internet Error Messages

When we try to view a webpage then some error message is being displayed. We will be facing such kind of error messages regularly which are explained as follows:

400-BAD REQUEST

If the user has typed the website name wrongly, then this error message can be obtained. Since our web server cannot find the name of website that we have specified thus it hangs.Because of this hanging, the error message is obtained.

If there is change in the case(upper/lower) of letters in website then also it can lead to errors.
Thus pay attention and specify the correct name of the website.

401-UNAUTHORIZED REQUEST

If the user is visiting a website without authorization, then he may get this error message.
If you want to retrieve the data, then sometimes password is required for the website for proper authorization.

Thus for such websites strict rules and conventions are maintained and thus its better for user to avoid such sites.

403-FORBIDDEN

If this error message is obtained,then user cannot access the webpage in any case. Thus again its better to avoid such websites.

For example if you try to access a webpage of some organisation (if you are not member of that organisation), then the page is forbidden.

404-NOT FOUND

The webpage for which user is trying to browse/view may be deleted (or) removed from website.In this case error message is displayed.

In some cases, the existing webpage would have been modified to some other name.If the user does not know the new web address then cannot access it.

500-INTERNAL ERROR

If the user is browsing a webpage(which has heavy loads) then this error occurs. This is also refered as CGI error messages.

The user enter his details in the webpage and tries to submit it.If the connectivity(internal) program does not work, then this error can be obtained.For these kind of errors, the users cannot solve it.

503-SERVICE UNAVAILABLE

If more number of users are trying to access the same webpage, then server cannot handle all thus some users are not given access and are displayed with this error message.

If server itself does not work for particular time, then also this error message can be obtained.If the user tries to browse the same webpage after some duration of time, then he can/may get access to webpage.

Thus user here has some remedy and can try to access the page after sometime . .
