What would happen if you received an HTTP status code in real life?

Asked by erichw1504 (26453points) June 22nd, 2011

This is a list of HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) response status codes that you could receive when browsing to a website. You may have seen 404 Not Found before or one of the other ones.

Look through the list and create a real life situation in which you could get one of these errors.

Examples:

I tried to open my front door with my car key, but I got 405 Method Not Allowed.

I received the error 204 No Content while watching a Nic Cage film last night.

So, be creative and have fun!

Poorly worded Fluther question. 400 Bad Request: The request cannot be fulfilled due to bad syntax.

I was walking on the boardwalk with a friend, and we were both going through stereotypical flaming gay guy lines, when an old lady walking past gave us a 406 Not Acceptable while shaking her head. We laughed even harder because of it.

203 Non-Authoritative Information (since HTTP/1.1)
The server successfully processed the request, but there are a million blogs about climate change.

This thread is funny. I wish there were more answers.

I asked a woman for her number, and it’s actually real, but she hasn’t answered yet: 202 Accepted
The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not eventually be acted upon, as it might be disallowed when processing actually takes place.

I called work to say that I wouldn’t be in that day when I got the 503 Service Unavailable warning. [The server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance). Generally, this is a temporary state.]

Sister: “Do you know where the chips are?”
Me: Error 410: Gone.

I’m backing out of the driveway when the gate comes loose and swings to. I don’t notice until it clips the side mirror off. After spending a minute finding creative alternatives to colorful language, I make a note: Error 502: Bad Gateway.
