From my PC Tip O' the Day list...

It happens to all of us. Surfing along, and up comes an error.

What do all those error codes mean? Here's a rundown of the most

common:

400 - Bad Request - You probably typed in a URL wrong, the server

has no clue what you're looking for, or you aren't allowed to

have access.

Usually, it's a matter of the URL being typing in wrong. Maybe

you mixed upper and lowercase letters or something.

401- Unauthorized Request - you tried to get to something on the

web server you're not allowed to play with.

403 - Forbidden - You can't access the page. You may not have

access (it may require a password), or it may be blocked from

your domain.

404- Not Found - The page you were trying to look at was not

found on the server. This is probably the most common error

you'll come across. What has probably happened is that the web

page you were going to has been removed or re-named.

500 - Internal error - Usually caused by a CGI error. You fill

out a form, but the script used to process it is not working

properly.

503 - Service Unavailable - The server may be overloaded, down,

or have other similar problems. Try later.

One time (at Band Camp...) I was in my Viggo File on my computer and something went wrong. The top said "Viggo (Not Responding)"

I was like, "Well you don't have to rub it in!" stupid computer.

These are good explanations- I never know what they mean- I just know it's not getting me where I want to be.

PS I love my icon!!!!
