Errors reported by CheckUpDown

Introduction to errors Any client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) goes through the following cycle when it communicates with your Web server: Obtain an IP address from the IP name of your site (the site URL without the leading 'http://'). This lookup (conversion of IP name to IP address) is provided by domain name servers (DNSs). Open an IP socket connection to that IP address. Write an HTTP data stream through that socket. Receive an HTTP data stream back from the Web server in response. This data stream contains status codes whose values are determined by the HTTP protocol. Parse this data stream for status codes and other useful information. An error may occur in any of the above steps. Our CheckUpdown robot isolates any error and reports it as an error code for your account (as a clickable link) along with details of when the error was detected. The error codes the client may receive are given below - follow the URL for each to see further discussion of the error and what further action we recommend. 0?? errors Errors with a code in the range 001-099 indicate a fundamental failure to communicate, typically in the early steps above. Note these errors are not defined in the HTTP protocol - they are specific to our CheckUpDown service. 001 - Unknown Host 002 - I/O Exception 003 - Undefined HTTP Status Code 004 - Bad URL 005 - Host not reachable 006 - No connection 007 - I/O Interrupt 008 - Socket failure 009 - SSL secure socket failure 010 - Check word not found 011 - Socket Timeout 3?? errors Errors with a code in the range 300-399 indicate a redirection of the Web site URL. As of September 2000, CheckUpDown follows some URL redirections (301, 302, 303, 307) automatically, so these should no longer be reported as an error. 300 - Multiple Choices 301 - Moved permanently 302 - Moved temporarily 303 - See other 304 - Not modified 305 - Use proxy 307 - Temporary Redirect 4?? errors Errors with a code in the range 400-499 occur where the Web server - incorrectly or not - dislikes the HTTP data streams that the client sends to it. Quite rare. 400 - Bad request 401 - Unauthorized 403 - Forbidden 404 - Not found 405 - Method not allowed 406 - Not acceptable 407 - Proxy authentication required 408 - Request timeout 409 - Conflict 410 - Gone 411 - Length required 412 - Precondition failed 413 - Request entity too large 414 - Request URI too long 415 - Unsupported media type 416 - Requested Range not satisfiable 417 - Expectation failed 5?? errors Errors with a code in the range 500-599 occur where the Web server reports an internal error in its operations. 500 - Internal server error 501 - Not implemented 502 - Bad gateway 503 - Service unavailable 504 - Gateway timeout 505 - HTTP version not supported
