Spotting HTTP Errors

Posted by Philip Nicosia on: 2007-02-11 20:49:06

Self SEO > Internet Articles


You’ve all seen it on our Internet browsers: http://www.(insert name of website here).” HTTP is the protocol that sends information through the Internet. Usually webmasters will see a message similar to this, called an HTTP header.


HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html
Connection: close

The first outlines the HTTP protocol, and the response code that signifies the desired result of a request. The rest are field names, called response headers. All three introduce the text of the page, or the picture file.

However, a simple programming mistake can lead to errors in your HTTP headers. It’s important to look at them to see if it’s correct. The following are the meanings of each HTTP header to serve as a guide for your examinations.

“HTTP Status Code - 200 OK” means that the request for content was successful, and information will be sent based on the particular meto

The request has succeeded. The information returned with the response is dependent on the method used in the request.

“HTTP Status Code - 301 Moved Permanently” informs the searcher that there have been permanent URL changes. Double check that this uses one of the returned URLs. In effect, the user is informed never to return to the old address again. Use with caution.

“HTTP Status Code - 302 Found” means that the content is temporarily not found on the address (perhaps if the site is offline and is being changed). However, you are informing the client that he should still use the old website address in the future. This is similar to “HTTP Status Code 307” which temporarily redirects the user to another website.

“HTTP Status Code - 304 Not Modified” This is a conditional “Get” request. It is crucial that you check the 304 response to ensure that it doesn’t contain the message body. The content ends after the first empty line after the header.

But when the message is “HTTP Status Code - 401 Unauthorized” and “HTTP Status Code - 403 Forbidden” the user is informed that the website needs authorization to allow further access to the content.

“HTTP Status Code - 400 Bad Request” means there is a syntax error and must be corrected immediately. This is also related to “HTTP Status Code - 404 Not Found” which basically says that there is nothing on the Internet matching that request. If these two messages appear, you need to go to your website programming and review it for any errors.

Another error message is “HTTP Status Code - 410 Gone” which means the resource has disappeared. The user is not directed to any new site, and this is essentially a digital version of snail mail returning with the stamp “resident not found, no forwarding address”. If you have link editing functions, you should delete any references to this URL. For all intents and purposes, it’s “dead”.

You may also receive messages that there are glitches with the system, not the link. “HTTP Status Code - 500 Internal Server Error” and “HTTP Status Code - 501 Not Implemented” means there’s a problem with the server.

Have someone else do it. I cannot proofread my own work because I don't see the mistakes. I see it as it SHOULD be not as it actually is. I can find others mistakes very easily. Some people are good at it and some aren't.

http errors are quite well in these site map designing. One should also try to get above html by some php which might be easier in some sense. Also Css also hav vast opportunities.

IPv6 is not interoperable with IPv4. It essentially establishes a parallel version of the Internet not directly accessible with IPv4 software. This means software upgrades or translator facilities are necessary for networking devices that need to communicate on both networks. Most modern computer operating systems already support both versions of the Internet Protocol. Network infrastructures, however, are still lagging in this development. Aside from the complex array of physical connections that make up its infrastructure, the Internet is facilitated by bi- or multi-lateral commercial contracts (e.g., peering agreements), and by technical specifications or protocols that describe how to exchange data over the network. Indeed, the Internet is defined by its interconnections and routing policies.
