HTTP Status and Error Codes Explained

1xx Informational
Request received, continuing process.
1. 100 Continue: The request has been completed and the rest of the process can continue.

2. 101 Switching: Protocols When requesting a page, a browser might receive a statis code of 101, followed by an "Upgrade" header showing that the server is changing to a different version of HTTP.


2xx Success
The action was successfully received, understood, and accepted.
1. 200 OK: Standard response for HTTP successful requests.
2. 201 Created: When new pages are created by posted form data or by a CGI process, this is confirmation that it worked.
3. 202 Accepted: The client's request was accepted, though not yet processed.
4. 203 Non-Authorative Information: The information contained in the entity header is not from the original site, but from a third party server.
5. 204 No Content: If you click a link which has no target URL, this response is elicited by the server. It's silent and doesn't warn the user about anything.
6. 205 Reset Content: This allows the server to reset any content returned by a CGI.
7. 206 Partial Content: The requested file wasn't downloaded entirely. This is returned when the user presses the stop button before a page is loaded, for example.

3xx Redirection
The client must take additional action to complete the request.
1. 300 Multiple Choices: The requested address refers to more than one file. Depending on how the server is configured, you get an error or a choice of which page you want.
2. 301 Moved Permanently: If the server is set up properly it will automatically redirect the reader to the new location of the file.
3. 302 Moved Temporarily: Page has been moved temporarily, and the new URL is available. You should be sent there by the server.
4. 303 See Other: This is a "see other" SRC. Data is somewhere else and the GET method is used to retrieve it.
5. 304 Not Modified: If the request header includes an 'if modified since' parameter, this code will be returned if the file has not changed since that date. Search engine robots may generate a lot of these.
6. 305 Use Proxy: The recipient is expected to repeat the request via the proxy.

4xx Client Error
The client failed to provide an valid request.
1. 400 Bad Request: There is a syntax error in the request, and it is denied.
2. 401 Authorization Required: The request header did not contain the necessary authentication codes, and the client is denied access.
3. 402 Payment Required: Payment is required. This code is not yet in operation.
4. 403 Forbidden: The client is not allowed to see a certain file. This is also returned at times when the server doesn't want any more visitors.
5. 404 Not Found: The requested file was not found on the server. Possibly because it was deleted, or never existed before. Often caused by misspellings of URLs.
6. 405 Method Not Allowed: The method you are using to access the file is not allowed.
7. 406 Not Acceptable: The requested file exists but cannot be used as the client system doesn't understand the format the file is configured for.
8. 407 Proxy Authentication Required: The request must be authorised before it can take place.
9. 408 Request Timed Out: The server took longer than its allowed time to process the request. Often caused by heavy net traffic.
10. 409 Conflicting Request: Too many concurrent requests for a single file.
11. 410 Gone: The file used to be in this position, but is there no longer.
12. 411 Content Length Required: The request is missing its Content-Length header.
13. 412 Precondition Failed: A certain configuration is required for this file to be delivered, but the client has not set this up.
14. 413 Request Entity Too Long: The requested file was too big to process.
15. 414 Request URI Too Long: The address you entered was overly long for the server.
16. 415 Unsupported Media Type: The filetype of the request is unsupported.

5xx Server Error
The server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request.
1. 500 Internal Server Error: Nasty response that is usually caused by a problem in your Perl code when a CGI program is run.
2. 501 Not Implemented: The request cannot be carried out by the server.
3. 502 Bad Gateway: The server you're trying to reach is sending back errors.
4. 503 Service Unavailable: The service or file that is being requested is not currently available.
5. 504 Gateway Timeout: The gateway has timed out. Like the 408 timeout error, but this one occurs at the gateway of the server.
6. 505 HTTP Version Not Supported: The HTTP protocol you are asking for is not supported.

Google Debuts Knowledge Project

Reference: BBC.CO.UK
Google has kicked off a project to create an authoritative store of information about any and every topic.

The search giant has already started inviting people to write about the subject on which they are known to be an expert. Google said it would not act as editor for the project but will provide the tools and infrastructure for the pages. Many experts see the initiative as an attack on the widely used Wikipedia communal encyclopaedia.

'Knol'
Writing about the project on the official Google blog, Udi Manber, one of the heads of engineering at the search firm, said it was all about sharing useful knowledge. By indexing the web, Google strives to make information more easily accessible. However, wrote Mr Manber, not all the information on the web was "well organised to make it easily discoverable". By getting respected authors to write about their specialism Google hopes to start putting some of that information in better order. The system will centre around authored articles created with a tool Google has dubbed "knol" - the word denotes a unit of knowledge - that will make webpages with a distinctive livery to identify them as authoritative. Mr Manber wrote: "A knol on a particular topic is meant to be the first thing someone who searches for this topic for the first time will want to read."

The knol pages will get search rankings to reflect their usefulness. Knols will also come with tools that readers can use to rate the information, add comments, suggest edits or additional content.
Revenue from any adverts on a knol page will be shared with its author. Industry commentator Nicholas Carr said the knol project was a "head-on competitor" with Wikipedia. He said it was an attempt by Google to knock ad-free Wikipedia entries on similar subjects down the rankings.

World's Fastest Elevator Installed In World's Tallest Building
Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems Corp announced the installation of the world's fastest passenger elevator just exactly where it is needed - in Taipei 101, the world's tallest building. The elevator runs at a top speed of 1,010 meters per minute when ascending (600 meters per minute on the way down), which works out to 60.6 kilometers per hour. The Elevator can go from the 5th floor to the 89th floor in 39 seconds. The world's fastest elevator offers the following new technologies: The world's first pressure control system, which adjusts the atmospheric pressure inside a car by using suction and discharge blowers, preventing those riding inside the car experiencing 'ear popping'

The World's First All-glass Undersea Restaurant Opens

The World's First All-glass Undersea Restaurant Opens 15 th April marks the day that the first ever all-glass undersea restaurant in the world opens its doors for business at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. It will sit five meters below the waves of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic offering diners 270-degrees of panoramic underwater views. "We have used aquarium technology to put diners face-to-face with the stunning underwater environment of the Maldives", says Carsten Schieck, General Manager of Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. "Our guests always comment on being blown aw ay by the colour, clarity, and beauty of the underwater world in the Maldives, so it seemed the perfect idea to build a restaurant where diners can experience fine cuisine and take time to enjoy the views - without ever getting their feet wet." Created by MJ Murphy Ltd, a design consultancy based in New Zealand, Ithaa's distinctive feature is the use of curved transparent acrylic walls and roof, similar to those used in aquarium attractions. "The fact that the entire restaurant except for the floor is made of clear ac rylic makes this unique in the world," continues Schieck, "We are currently planting a coral garden on the reef to add to the spectacular views of the rays, sharks and many colorful fish that live around the area.

The Lion Sculpture Gets Record Price

Reference: BBC.CO.UK
A tiny limestone figure of a lion from ancient Mesopotamia has sold at auction for $57m (£28m), almost double the previous record price for a sculpture.

The 8.3cm (3.25in) tall Guennol Lioness is thought to have been carved 5,000 years ago in what is now Iraq and Iran. The lion, whose new owner has not been identified, had been on loan to the Brooklyn Museum of Art for 59 years. The previous record for a sculpture was set last month when Pablo Picasso's Tete de Femme was sold for $29m.
A 2,000-year-old Roman bronze sold for $28m in June, the previous record price for an antiquity sold at auction. 'Storied figure' The ancient carving, which was found at a site near Baghdad, was acquired in 1948 by Alastair and Edith Martin and formed part of their Guennol Collection. The proceeds of the sale will benefit a charitable trust formed by the Martin Family.

Before the auction in New York on Wednesday, the head of Sotheby's antiquities department, Richard Keresey, described the figure as a "brilliant combination of animal form and human pose". "The successful bidder.. will have the distinction of owning one of the oldest, rarest and most beautiful works of art from the ancient world," he added.
The buyer, who wished to remain anonymous, entered the bidding at $27m, already $9m more than what the sculpture had been expected to fetch. Mesopotamia, which was located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, has been called the "cradle of civilisation" because agriculture, animal herding and domestication developed there earlier than anywhere else, almost 8,000 years ago. By 3000 BC, the Mesopotamians had already invented the wheel, developed writing, and created the world's first cities and monumental architecture.
