Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide • November 2001

Status Code

When a client makes a request, one item the server sends back is a status code, 
which is a three-digit numeric code. There are four categories of status codes:

•

Status codes in the 100–199 range indicate a provisional response.

•

Status codes in the 200–299 range indicate a successful transaction. 

•

Status codes in the 300–399 range are returned when the URL can’t be retrieved 
because the requested document has moved. 

•

Status codes in the 400–499 range indicate the client has an error. 

•

Status codes of 500 and higher indicate that the server can’t perform the 
request, or an error has occurred. 

Table B-2 contains some common status codes. 

Table B-2

Common HTTP status codes

Status code

Meaning

200

OK; successful transmission. This is not an error.

302

Found. Redirection to a new URL. The original URL has 
moved. This is not an error; most browsers will get the new 
page.

304

Use a local copy. If a browser already has a page in its 
cache, and the page is requested again, some browsers 
(such as Netscape Navigator) relay to the web server the 
“last-modified” timestamp on the browser’s cached copy. 
If the copy on the server is not newer than the browser’s 
copy, the server returns a 304 code instead of returning the 
page, reducing unnecessary network traffic. This is not an 
error.

401

Unauthorized. The user requested a document but didn’t 
provide a valid username or password.

403

Forbidden. Access to this URL is forbidden.

404

Not found. The document requested isn’t on the server. 
This code can also be sent if the server has been told to 
protect the document by telling unauthorized people that it 
doesn’t exist.

500

Server error. A server-related error occurred. The server 
administrator should check the server’s error log to see 
what happened.
