__TOC__ | __TOC__ | ||
== | == Troubleshooting HTTP Status Errors == | ||
=== 400 Bad Request === | |||
Root cause: The request itself is malformed. According to the spec, this means "the server cannot or will not process the request due to something perceived to be a client error" — such as invalid syntax, incorrect request message framing, or deceptive request routing. | |||
Possible fix: | |||
* Review and correct the request headers | |||
== | === 403 Forbidden === | ||
See: [[How to fix the 403 forbidden error]] | |||
== | === 404 Not Found === | ||
Fix: Verify that the URL is correct. For more details, see | |||
[[404 Not Found]], possible solutions for pages not found". | |||
=== 405 Method Not Allowed === | |||
== | Fix: Confirm that the target resource supports the HTTP method you're using. For example, the endpoint may only accept POST requests while you're sending a GET request. | ||
=== 414 Request-URI Too Large === | |||
Fix: Switch from GET to POST so the data is sent in the request body instead of the URL. | |||
=== 415 Unsupported Media Type === | |||
Fix: Explicitly declare the correct Content-Type or Content-Encoding in the request, or access the data directly. For instance, when calling a RESTful API, this error can often be resolved by adding the following header: | |||

=== 429 Too Many Requests === | |||
Related websites | Root cause: | ||
* The client is hitting the website or API more frequently than the service allows. | |||
Fixes: | |||
* '''Throttle your requests''': Add or increase a delay between requests based on your usage pattern and the service's limits (e.g., pause 1 second between calls). | |||
* '''Check the API rate limits''': Consult the provider's documentation for limits such as Requests Per Minute (RPM) or Requests Per Day (RPD), and find out whether you can request a higher quota. | |||
* '''Use exponential backoff''': Detect HTTP 429 responses in your | |||
application, then retry with progressively longer delays (e.g., 2s → 4s → 8s) until the request succeeds or a maximum retry count is reached. | |||
=== 502 Bad Gateway === | |||
Cause: | |||
* A failure between upstream network devices/servers — not something the end user can fix directly. | |||
Fixes: | |||
* Hard-refresh the page to bypass the browser cache | |||
* Wait a moment and try again | |||
=== Error 1020: Access Denied === | |||
* See the linked guide on resolving Error 1020 (Access Denied) to restore access to your website. | |||
