Most Common Http Errors And Their Meaning by jchima14: 5:55pm On Dec 05, 2017
Often times you come across some disturbing http error messages that just pop up on the screen when you try to access some websites.

Most of these common http errors are not new to you.

But the question is; do you know why these error messages pop up on your screen?

Can you interpret them?

It is against this backdrop that this content is drafted to explain the meaning of the 5 most common http errors you will experience while browsing the internet.

1. HTTP ERROR 404 (NOT FOUND)
When you want to access a web page and you get a 404 error message, don’t fret. This one of the most common http errors you will encounter online. It is simply telling you that the web page doesn’t exist.

2. HTTP ERROR 503 (SERVICE UNAVAILABLE)
This http error can pop up when you are having network issue. So the 503 Service Unavailable message can just be a temporary issue.

3. HTTP ERROR 401 (UNAUTHORIZED)
The requested web page requires authentication – that is, a password and username. This http error occurs when you try to access an unauthorized web page – It usually occurs because of a failed login attempt.

4. HTTP ERROR 403 (FORBIDDEN)
When you encounter http error 403, it means that the server is practically rejecting you command. The server will not allow the visitor to access the requested file. This is likely the most common reason why http error 403 messages would display on your screen.

5. HTTP ERROR 502 (GATEWAY TIMEOUT)
The http error 502 message is a server to server communication problem. This issue usually occurs as a result of improper configured proxy servers. That is, the use of a different proxy to resolve the web server’s content, It becomes visible when the website’s Internet Service Provider (ISP) is overloaded or the malfunction of a firewall.

Hello people. Please I need an ISP which is capable of at least 3mbps, and has coverage in Ado-Ekiti, and isn't too expensive. I don't want MTN, Airtel, Glo, or Etisalat, they've all failed me. Would prefer if it is capped data too, not unlimited. Eagerly awaiting your replies, thanks in anticipation.
