It was the other day I had stumbled across a few sites that were down and I had noticed different HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) status codes being displayed. Well, I know alot of the general ones so I figured I’d do some research to see what other error codes were out there. While researching I came across these very useful sites to help me understand the meaning behind the different status codes.

• Wikipedia – List of HTTP status codes
• Google Help – HTTP status codes
• Check Server Headers Tool – HTTP Status Codes Checker

Here are just a few of the different HTTP status codes you’ll find on the list of sites above.

• 200 OK
• 301 Moved Permanently
• 304 Not Modified
• 400 Bad Request
• 403 Forbidden
• 404 Not Found
• 407 (Proxy authentication required)
• 500 Internal Server Error
• 503 (Service unavailable)
• 505 (HTTP version not supported)
