Ошибка http status 405

Когда на сайт пытается попасть человек, а вместо искомого контента натыкается на ошибку, то важно выяснить, что это за ошибка и почему она посмела явиться в столь неподходящий (а это любой) момент.

Благо у нас есть замечательные коды 4хх и 5хх, хоть и не так подробно, как хотелось бы, но рассказывающие о том, почему возникла ошибка. Ну а мы, зная эту информацию, можем попытаться ошибку исправить. 

В этом материале речь пойдет об ошибке 405 Method Not Allowed. В деталях опишу проблему и расскажу, как ее побороть.

Что означает код ошибки сервера 405?

Код 405 Method Not Allowed говорит нам о том, что сервер получил определенный запрос с заданным HTTP-методом, смог его распознать, но не дает добро на его реализацию. То есть пользователь не получит доступ к контенту, который запросил.

В отличие от 404, 405 уточняет, что запрашиваемая страница существует и функционирует. Только вот стоит изменить используемый в HTTP-запросе метод. Иначе ничего не выйдет.

Из-за чего я вижу эту ошибку?

Есть 9 HTTP-методов, которые используются браузерами для общения с серверами. Из них два задействуются чаще остальных. Это метод GET для запроса информации с ресурса и метод POST для передачи какой-нибудь информации на ресурс. Два метода покрывают почти все существующие сценарии взаимодействия клиента и сервера от запроса статьи до отправки логина и пароля на сайт. Так как они выполняют разные задачи, для сервера нет никакой нужды принимать GET для авторизации на сайте или POST для загрузки данных. Если же клиент так делает и отправляет некорректный запрос (не с тем методом, который должен быть), то сервер ответит ему ошибкой. То же произойдет, если ресурс будет настроен так, что не сможет принимать специфичный набор запросов, не попадающих в «стандарт». Такие дела.

Как исправить 405 Method Not Allowed?

Ок, небольшой ликбез провел, теперь расскажу о том, что можно предпринять, чтобы исправить обнаруженную ошибку и вернуть посетителям доступ к сайту. 

Что может сделать пользователь?

Ошибка Method Not Allowed под номером 4хх вроде бы говорит о вине клиента. Но несмотря на это, пользователь мало что может сделать, чтобы устранить проблему. В его компетенции только убедиться в том, что он не допустил ошибку в базовых вещах, и попробовать повторить те же действия в надежде на успех.

Заново открыть ту же страницу

Иногда 405 Method Not Allowed может исчезнуть после перезагрузки страницы. Так что перед тем как принимать сложные решения и жаловаться на владельцев сайта, нажмите F5 или Cmd + R раза два. 

Проверить, правильно ли он ввел URL-адрес

Несложная задача, но полезная. Как и в случае с кучей других ошибок, 405 может явиться из-за банальной опечатки или лишнего символа. К тому же многие серверы защищены таким образом, чтобы напрочь блокировать доступ к несуществующим страницам или каким-либо подуровням (в которые человек может пытаться залезть неслучайно). 

Так что пользователю стоит заглянуть в адресную строку браузера и убедиться в корректности введенной ссылки. Если что-то нет так, то лучше открыть главную страницу сайта и искать нужную информацию там, а не пытаться попасть на нее, вводя адрес вручную. 

Что может сделать владелец сайта?

Как это часто бывает, у сервера гораздо больше способов исправить клиентскую ошибку. Тут реально целый ворох решений: от удаления подозрительных компонентов из CMS до редактирования конфигурационных файлов. 

Проверить настройки сервера

Тут будут инструкции для владельцев сайтов на базе Apache и Nginx в Timeweb. Понятно, что есть другие варианты конфигураций, но эти два — чуть ли стандарт, использующийся повсеместно. А информация, касающаяся конкретно Timeweb, заденет только расположение файлов и работу с панелью управления хостинга. Остальные моменты универсальны. 

Инструкция для пользователей Apache

Наша задача состоит в том, чтобы в файле .htaccess найти записи, которые могут провоцировать появление ошибки 405. А потом их закомментировать или удалить. Чтобы это сделать:

  • Открываем панель управления Timeweb.
  • Ищем внутри вкладку «Файловая система» и переходим на нее.
  • Открываем файл .htaccess.
  • Внутри .htaccess ищем директивы Rewrite… (обычно это RewriteEngine, RewriteCond и RewriteRule).

Эти директивы помогают в настройке переадресации и некоторых других аспектах поведения сервера. Например, чтобы заставить сервер отправлять клиенту ошибку на каждый запрос GET, можно ввести такой код:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/ru/services/?.$ 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =GET 
RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://timeweb/ru/new$1 [R=405,L]

За появление ошибки отвечает запись [R=405,L]. То есть в настройках указано, как себя будет вести сервер при определенном запросе. Надо найти все такие директивы и закомментировать их, поставив # перед записью.

Инструкция для пользователей Nginx

Здесь нужно сделать примерно то же. Разница в том, как выглядит файл с настройками и в его расположении. 

  • Ищем файл nginx.conf по пути /usr/local/nginx/conf или /usr/local/etc/nginx.
  • Открываем его любым текстовым редактором.
  • Находим код, включающий в себя упоминание ошибки 405.

В Nginx код выглядит немного сложнее. Например, запрос метода для ссылки https://moysait.com/ru/services/create будет выглядеть так:

server { listen 80; listen 443 ssl;

server_name moysait.com;

location /users/create { if ($request_method = POST) { return 405 https://moysait.com/services/create$request_uri; } } }

Делаем ту же процедуру. Останавливаемся везде, где находим директиву с ошибкой 405. Анализируем ее (вдруг, она тут случайно). И при необходимости комментируем или удаляем.

Исправить проблемы, связанные с PHP-скриптами

Ошибки могут возникнуть при попытке импортировать или экспортировать слишком объемную базу данных. На хостинге может быть установлено ограничение в полминуты, запрещающее использовать один PHP-скрипт дольше этого времени. Поэтому, если процесс затянется, сервер может отозваться ошибкой 405.

Обойти ограничение можно тремя путями:

  • Попробовать экспортировать БД через phpMyAdmin.
  • Разбить файл БД на несколько мелких частей, передача каждого из которых займет меньше 30 секунд.
  • Использовать для передачи БД Cron-задачу. На них сервер выделяет больше времени.

Еще специалисты рекомендуют удалить статические файлы с разрешением, которые Nginx обрабатывать не должен. Это делается через панель управления хостингом в соответствующем разделе файлового менеджера.

Исправить эксклюзивные для Nginx ошибки

Как мы уже выяснили выше, ошибка может возникнуть при попытке использовать неподходящий метод. Вот как можно исправить это в случае с Nginx-сервером.

Первый вариант — убедить сервер в том, что вместо кода 405 надо отправлять код 200, и это вполне нормально:

server { 
   listen 80; 
   server_name localhost;
location / { 
   root html; 
   index index.html index.htm; } 
error_page 404 /404.html; 
  error_page 403 /403.html; 
error_page 405 =200 $uri;



}

Для тех, у кого Nginx-сервер — это proxy, понадобится вот такой код:

error_page 405 =200 @405; 

location @405 { root /htdocs; proxy_pass http://localhost:8080; }

Аналогичная ошибка возникает при работе с модулем FastCGI. Из-за него сервер неправильно считывает запросы с методом POST, поэтому необходимо делить параметры и адрес скрипта вот так:

location ~.php(.*) {
 fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
 fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(.*)$;
 fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
 fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
 fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
 include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
}

Далее речь пойдет об общих методах диагностики и исправления ошибок. На крайний случай, если конкретные решения не помогли.

Проанализировать все недавние изменения в коде

Если недавно что-то поменяли, а после этого все сломалось, то надо это «поменяли» рассмотреть подробнее. Провести ручной дебаггинг, если можно это так назвать. Наверняка где-то затесалась несерьезная, но обидная ошибка. 

Удалить сторонние дополнения для CMS

Если вы используете условный WordPress, то разного рода ошибки могут подкрасться оттуда, где их не ждешь. Например, после установки нового расширения. 

Так что при подозрении на наличие сбойного дополнения, лучше попробовать от него избавиться и посмотреть, что будет. Возможно, ошибка исчезнет. 

После этого уже можно будет поискать альтернативное расширение или пообщаться с разработчиками по поводу того, почему вообще возникает сбой.

Главное, не забудьте сделать резервную копию CMS перед тем, как что-то удалять и менять. И продолжайте делать бэкапы после, чтобы всегда можно было восстановить рабочую версию сайта.

Откатиться на более старую версию CMS

Бывает так, что сама CMS несет в себе баги и ошибки. Ну или криво установилась. В таком случае можно восстановиться из старой резервной копии и откатиться на одну или несколько версий в прошлое. Когда все работало без ошибок.

Проверить новые записи в базе данных

Расширения могут вносить изменения в базу данных сайта. Иногда не очень полезные. Надо проверить, не появилось ли после установки свежего дополнения каких-либо непрошенных изменений в базе данных. Может, появились подозрительные записи, которых не должно быть. Лучше подвергнуть анализу всю БД от начала до конца (если другие методы исправления ошибки 405 не помогли, конечно).

На этом будем заканчивать. Мы и так уже перешли на самые маловероятные способы исправления этой ошибки. Надеюсь, они не понадобятся, но знать о таких вариантах стоит. Вдруг эти знания когда-нибудь спасут вас и посетителей вашего сайта.

Ошибка HTTP 405 указывает на то, что сервер отклонил конкретный метод HTTP, используемый веб-браузером. Узнайте, почему он может появиться на вашем сайте и как быстро исправить его, не нанося ущерба вашей репутации в интернете.

Нет ничего более неприятного для потребителя, который ищет мгновенного удовлетворения, чтобы наткнуться на ошибку на вашем сайте. Если вместо того, чтобы найти нужную им информацию, они наткнутся на страницу с надписью “ошибка”, скорее всего, подавляющее большинство потребителей покинут ваш сайт.

Но помимо того, что потребители быстро уходят, вы также можете испытать разрушительные последствия для ваших коэффициентов конверсии. Не говоря уже о том, что поисковые системы также обращают внимание на показатели отказов. Ошибка, которая может появиться на вашем сайте и вызвать разочарование у потребителей — это Ошибка HTTP 405.

К сожалению, эта ошибка похожа на что-то мистическое. Она говорит вам, что что-то пошло не так, но не дает более подробного объяснения.

Хорошая новость заключается в том, что с помощью небольшого исследования и усилий с вашего сайта вы можете быстро определить суть проблемы и исправить ее, прежде чем заметите падение активности и продаж.

В этой статье мы поговорим о том, что такое Ошибка HTTP 405, почему она может появиться на вашем сайте, а также о том, как ее исправить. Давайте начнем!

HTTP 405 – это код состояния ответа HTTP. Существует пять видов кодов состояния HTTP-ответа. Все они сообщают пользователю, был ли успешно выполнен определенный HTTP-запрос. Пять основных кодов состояния включают в себя:

1xx коды состояния: Информационные запросы                                                                                                                          2xx коды состояния: Успешные запросы                                                                                                                                          3xx коды состояния: Перенаправление                                                                                                                                            4xx коды состояния: Ошибки клиента                                                                                                                                                  5xx коды состояния: Ошибки сервера

Сообщение об Ошибке 405 Method Not Allowed – это ошибка клиента, которая указывает на то, что проблема заключается в чем-то на стороне клиента.

Ошибка HTTP 405 указывает на то, что веб-браузер запросил доступ к одной из ваших страниц, и ваш веб-сервер распознал этот запрос. Однако сервер отклонил конкретный метод HTTP, который он использует. В результате ваш веб-браузер не может получить доступ к запрошенной веб-странице. Когда это произойдет, ваши посетители увидят веб-страницу с ошибкой.

Варианты имен Ошибок HTTP 405

Различные веб-серверы, операционные системы и браузеры отображают ошибку по-разному. Важно отметить, что причина проблемы также может меняться от одного сервера к другому.

Наиболее распространенные способы появления Ошибки HTTP 405 для потребителей включают в себя:

  • HTTP Ошибка 405 – Метод Не Дозволен
  • HTTP Метод Не Дозволен
  • 405 Не Дозволено
  • Метод Не Дозволен
  • HTTP Ошибка 405

Независимо от того, как появляется ошибка, будь то Ошибка HTTP 405 или Метод Не Дозволен, проблема одна и та же, и это то, что ее трудно исправить. Вы знаете, что что-то не так, но понятия не имеете, что это может быть. Вам предстоит найти суть проблемы и устранить ее до того, как она нанесет непоправимый ущерб.

Как исправить Ошибку 405?

Проверьте URL-адрес

Первое, что вам нужно сделать, когда вы видите Ошибку 405 на своем сайте – это проверить, правильно ли вы ввели URL-адрес.

Внимательно посмотрите на URL-адрес и убедитесь, что он содержит все правильные буквы.URL-адрес содержит какие-либо специальные символы, убедитесь, что они вставлены правильно.

Пока вы этим занимаетесь, вы также можете попробовать обновить страницу. Вы можете обнаружить, что обновление страницы может заставить ее правильно загрузиться. Если вы уверены, что ввели правильный URL-адрес, но все еще видите ошибку, выполните откат последних обновлений.

Откат последних обновлений

Большая часть веб-сайтов размещается на таких CMS, как WordPress или Wix. Вы можете обнаружить, что недавнее обновление системы может быть основной причиной проблемы.

Попробуйте подумать, когда вы впервые заметили Ошибку 405 на своем сайте. Это было сразу после того, как вы обновили CMS? Если это так, то подумайте о том, чтобы вернуться к предыдущей версии.

Удаление новых расширений, модулей или плагинов

Расширения и плагины могут быть полезны для улучшения возможностей вашего сайта, но они также могут нанести серьезный ущерб.

Некоторые расширения могут полностью контролировать вашу систему и вносить изменения в любой код, включая PHP, CSS, HTML, JavaScript и вашу базу данных. В этом случае рекомендуется удалить все новые расширения, которые вы недавно добавили в свою систему.

Если вам нужна помощь в удалении расширения, просто сделайте быстрый поиск в Google, чтобы найти официальную документацию для этого процесса.

Дважды проверьте изменения в своей базе данных

Иногда, даже если вы удалите расширение, изменения, внесенные этим расширением в систему, не могут быть полностью возвращены.

Есть некоторые расширения, особенно на CMS WordPress, которые имеют карт-бланш внутри приложения, который включает в себя полный доступ к базе данных. Расширение может изменять записи базы данных, которые не принадлежат самому расширению, а создаются и управляются другими расширениями. Когда это происходит, расширение может не знать, как вернуть изменения в записи базы данных, что приводит к тому, что расширение игнорирует такие вещи во время удаления.

Лучшее, что вы можете сделать в таком случае – это открыть базу данных и вручную просмотреть таблицы и записи, которые могли быть изменены расширением. Или вы можете провести быстрое исследование и попытаться найти людей, которые столкнулись с той же проблемой, чтобы увидеть, как они справились с этой проблемой.

Проверьте файлы конфигурации для вашего веб-сервера

Если двойная проверка изменений базы данных не помогла, попробуйте проверить файлы конфигурации программного обеспечения веб-сервера на наличие непреднамеренных инструкций перенаправления.

Ваше приложение работает либо на веб-серверах Apache, либо на веб-серверах nginx.

Если вы используете Apache, вам необходимо проверить как файл конфигурации сервера apache, так и файл конфигурации сервера apache файл .htaccess. После того, как вы найдете файл .htaccess, откройте его в текстовом редакторе и найдите строки, использующие указания RewriteXXX. В случае, если вы столкнетесь с какими-либо странными указаниями RewriteCond или RewriteRule, попробуйте временно сделать замечание, используя префикс символа #. Перезагрузите веб-сервер и посмотрите, устранена ли проблема.

Если вы используете nginx, вам нужно проверить nginx.conf файл. Файл находится в одном из нескольких общих каталогов: /usr/local/nginx/conf, /etc/nginx или /usr/local/etc/nginx. Как только вы найдете файл, откройте его в текстовом редакторе и выполните поиск указании, использующих флаг кода ответа 405. Сделайте замечания на любые аномалии, а затем перезагрузите сервер, чтобы увидеть, была ли проблема решена.

Проверьте журналы приложений

Журналы приложений содержат историю вашего веб-сайта, в том числе информацию о том, какие страницы были запрошены, к каким серверам он подключался и многое другое.

Открытие журналов приложений может указать вам правильное направление, в котором может возникнуть ошибка.

Расположение журналов приложений зависит от типа используемого сервера. Как только вы их найдете, запустите поиск Ошибок 405. Надеюсь, вы определите, что является основной причиной проблемы.

Отладка кода приложения или скриптов

Если вы перепробовали все вышеперечисленное и ничего не получилось, возможно, пришло время посмотреть, не является ли причиной ошибки проблема в каком-то пользовательском коде вашего приложения.

Вы можете поставить диагноз, вручную отладив приложение и проанализировав журналы приложений и серверов.

Сделайте копию приложения на локальную машину разработки и выполните пошаговую отладку. Вам удастся воссоздать точный сценарий, в котором произошел 405 Метод Не Дозволен, и просмотреть код приложения, когда что-то пойдет не так.

Заключение

Надеемся что наша подробная запись о кодах состояния HTTP, будет полезная для вас. Помните что регулярный контроль и техническое обслуживание помогут сохранить ваш сайт безупречным, а его владельца-беззаботным.

Web servers inform clients, like internet browsers for example, about the processing status of the submitted request with the help of HTTP status codes. So there are various codes that confirm the success or failure of a request – along with very specific messages. While some of these messages are encountered relatively frequently with daily use of the World Wide Web, the 405 (Method Not Allowed) error is one of the more rare error messages. In this article you’ll find out exactly what leads to this error message, and why solving the problem is the responsibility of the website operator.

What’s behind the 405 HTTP error?

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP for short) defines methods that indicate possible actions that can be performed on the contacted web server. For example, this includes the following methods:

  • GET: Retrieve information associated with a specific URL resource
  • HEAD: Retrieve header information linked with a URL resource
  • POST: Send data to the web server – for example, form data
  • PUT: Replace the data for a specific URL with new data transmitted by the client
  • DELETE: Delete the data behind the respective URL

To display this video, third-party cookies are required. You can access and change your cookie settings here.

The administrator can configure each web server so that the individual methods are either allowed or not allowed. For example, if there’s no interactive content on the website, it’s only logical that the POST method isn’t allowed, since the user has no options to enter their own data and send it to the server. Otherwise, the error message mentioned above with the status code 405 would appear, informing the browser and its user that the method is not allowed.

The exact wording of the 405 HTTP message varies from server to server. Here are some common phrases:

  • 405 Method Not Allowed
  • 405 Not Allowed
  • Method Not Allowed
  • HTTP 405 Error
  • HTTP Error 405 – Method Not Allowed
  • HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed
  • Error: 405 Method Not Allowed
  • 405 – HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed
  • HTTP Status 405 – HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL

When does the 405 error occur?

We have already indicated that the 405 error is caused solely by a server-side problem. But since status code 405 technically belongs to the client error messages (codes with the pattern 4xx), this doesn’t seem to make sense. This contradiction is quickly solved, though: If, as a browser user, you forward a request to the webserver with an HTTP method that it doesn’t allow due to its configuration, the error lies on the client side from the server’s point of view – in this case, the client simply made a wrong request. The server isn’t aware when processing the request of the fact that you’re only interested in the website’s offer, for example, to fill out a contact form.

Three scenarios in particular can lead to a “Method Not Allowed” error message:

  • The ban of the corresponding HTTP method is due to a misconfiguration of web servers or software components that are supposed to perform the respective action for the desired URL resource.
  • The ban of the HTTP method is from the website operator – in most cases, for security reasons. The error lies in a URL resource of the web project in question, on the grounds that its programming requires its method to not be allowed.
  • The HTTP method is not allowed by the hosting provider of the website operator. This particularly occurs with the POST method, which is required for entering data and is blocked by some providers for security reasons when accessing HTML documents.

HTTP error 405: How to fix the problem

If you come across a web project that displays the 405 Not Allowed error message, you can hardly solve the problem yourself. While with other HTTP messages you can usually solve the problem using tricks like refreshing the page, restarting the router, or checking the proxy settings, these measures are useless against the 405 error. In this case, it makes sense to contact the responsible website operator or administrator to make the problem known or receive exact information about the causes.

If you yourself are responsible for the site that is displaying the 405 HTTP code to visitors, then the circumstances are of course different: Depending on the cause of the error message, you have several options for solving the problem. To avoid angering your users and/or being penalized by search engines, you should resolve the error as quickly as possible.

Solution 1: Enable HTTP methods

If you’re not sure of the cause of the “405 Method Not Allowed” message, you should always first look at the settings of the software components that are responsible for responding to HTTP requests. Typically, this is handled by the web server, but a pre-connected Proxy or HTTP handler (in ASP.NET web applications) could also be responsible for the problem if the method is simply not enabled. Since the different applications differ from each other in terms of configuration, you first have to find out how the activation or deactivation of the HTTP methods functions for each software.

For Apache web servers, enabled methods are specified with the help of the mod_allowmethods module, for example. This can be controlled using the AllowMethods directive in the <Location> containers, which are needed to specify settings for one or more desired URLs. One configuration that enables access to the resource as well as client-side data entry can be implemented with the following entry:

<Location "/">
  AllowMethods GET POST OPTIONS
</Location>

Note

With older Apache versions, permitted HTTP methods are defined with the directives <Limit> and <LimitExcept>

Solution 2: Clean up the source code

If you’ve deliberately blocked an HTTP method, for example, to guarantee the safety of the website (common practice for the PUT method), but the client still triggers such a request to retrieve URL resources, this is often due to incorrect website programming. The requested page or element is therefore incorrectly linked with the method, which is why the 405 error is the logical consequence. The solution is to locate the problematic code in the corresponding HTML document and replace the entered code with the correct request method. If the server configurations and source code are reconciled, then there’s a high possibility that the 405 HTTP error will disappear from the browser window of your visitor.

Solution 3: Bypass the provider’s security barrier

As previously mentioned, the 405 error can also have the background that the corresponding HTTP methods for certain MIME types – like an HTML document, for example – have been disabled by the hosting provider for security reasons. In this case, you can of course contact your provider and ask for approval – but if this isn’t possible, there are tricks that allow you to use the method for your web project anyway.

You can deliver the website with a different MIME type available for the desired method to work around the barrier. POST, for example, is usually deactivated for HTML pages, while the method functions in PHP documents. If you change the extension type, for example, from index.html to index.php, there’s a good chance that you’ll have solved the “405 Method Not Allowed” problem.

To display this video, third-party cookies are required. You can access and change your cookie settings here.

A second trick is to implement the website that causes the HTTP error as the content of the displayed 405 error page. To do this, simply save the page in question in a separate directory and define this in the configuration file as the official 405 error message:

ErrorDocument 405 /PathToFile/example.html

This solution does have the disadvantage, though, that all success page accesses for the page are classified and counted as errors, which complicates the statistical analysis.

405 Method Not Allowed: What It Is and How to Fix It

405 Method Not Allowed: What It Is and How to Fix It

An overview of what a 405 Method Not Allowed response is, including troubleshooting tips to help you resolve this error in your own application.

The 405 Method Not Allowed is an HTTP response status code indicating that the server received and recognized the specified request HTTP method, but the server rejected that particular method for the requested resource. This code response confirms that the requested resource is valid and exists, but the client has used an unacceptable HTTP method during the request.

Like most HTTP response codes — especially for those that indicate an error — it can be challenging to find the cause of a 405 Method Not Allowed response. 

In this article, we’ll examine the 405 Method Not Allowed in more detail. We’ll look at what might cause this message, along with a handful of tips for diagnosing and debugging the appearance of this error within your application. We’ll also examine popular content management systems (CMSs) for potential problem areas that could cause an unexpected 405 Method Not Allowed.

Server- or Client-Side?

All HTTP response status codes in the 4xx category are client error responses. This category contrasts with 5xx classification errors, such as the 503 Service Unavailable Error. These are server error responses. That said, the appearance of a 4xx error doesn’t necessarily mean the issue is on the client-side, where the “client” is the web browser or device being used to access the application. 

If you’re trying to diagnose an issue within your application, you can ignore most client-side code and components, such as HTML, cascading style sheets (CSS), client-side JavaScript, etc. This doesn’t apply solely to websites, either. Standard web applications power many smartphone apps that implement a modern-looking user interface.

On the other hand, this doesn’t entirely rule out the server as the actual cause of a 405 error. In some cases, the server may be mishandling requests. This could result in 405 code responses and other problematic traffic routing issues. We’ll explore some of these scenarios (and potential solutions) below. Be aware that, even though the 405 Method Not Allowed is considered a client error response, it doesn’t inherently mean we can rule out the client or the server as the culprit.

Start With a Thorough Application Backup

It is critical that you perform a complete backup of your application before attempting any fixes to the system. 

Even better, create a complete copy of the application onto a secondary staging server that isn’t active. This will give you a clean testing ground to test all potential fixes without threatening your live application.

Diagnosing a 405 Method Not Allowed

As discussed in the introduction, a 405 Method Not Allowed indicates that the user agent (the web browser, in most cases) has requested a valid resource using an invalid HTTP method. 

This could happen in a few different circumstances:

  • The user agent accidentally sent an incorrect HTTP method
  • The server is expecting only a handful of valid HTTP methods for the requested resource

Currently, there are nine possible HTTP methods, though some of them are far more prevalent than others. For example, the GET method handles most requests made on the Internet to retrieve data (i.e. “get” a page or resource). The POST method is the second-most common, and it’s typically used to send data to the server (such as login credentials).

Since each possible HTTP method has its own intended uses, it often doesn’t make sense for a server to accept requests using specific methods for particular resources. For example, a resource might exist at the URL https://airbrake.io/users/create, where the server creates a new user when valid credentials are sent via a POST HTTP method request. Therefore, it makes no sense for the server to accept a GET request at that resource/URL, so it may respond with a 405 Method Not Allowed code.

Troubleshooting on the Client-Side

Since the 405 response is a client error response code, it’s best to start troubleshooting any potential client-side issues. Here are a handful of tips to try on the browser or device giving you problems.

Check the Requested URL

The most common cause of a 405 Method Not Allowed is simply inputting an incorrect URL. As discussed before, many web servers will disallow access to improper URLs. 

This could be anything from trying to access a file directory via a URL to gaining access to a private page meant for other users. Double-check the exact URL returning the 405 Method Not Allowed error.

Debugging Common Platforms

If you’re running common software packages on the server responding with the 405 Method Not Allowed, you may want to look into the stability and functionality of those platforms. 

The most common content management systems (CMSs) — like WordPress, Joomla!, and Drupal — are typically well-tested. Once you start making modifications to the underlying extensions or PHP code, it’s easy to cause unforeseen issues resulting in a 405 error.

Troubleshoot some of these popular software platforms using the tips below.

Rollback Recent Upgrades

Suppose you recently updated the content management system before the 405 Method Not Allowed appeared. You may want to consider rolling back to the previous version you had installed when things were working fine. 

Similarly, any extensions or modules you may have recently upgraded can also cause server-side issues, so reverting to previous versions may also help. 

Simply Google “downgrade [PLATFORM_NAME] for assistance with this task.” In some cases, however, certain CMSs don’t provide a version downgrade capability, which indicates that they consider the base application and each new version released to be stable and bug-free. 

Uninstall New Extensions, Modules, or Plugins

New extensions, modules, and plugins within your CMS all serve the same purpose across every system: improving the capabilities and features of the platform beyond what it’s typically capable of out of the box. 

A word of caution: such extensions can take complete control of the system and make virtually any changes. As such, it may be wise to uninstall any new extensions if you suddenly see a 405 error. 

Check for Unexpected Database Changes

It’s worth noting that, even if you uninstall an extension through the CMS dashboard, this doesn’t guarantee that changes made by the extension will fully revert. This is particularly true for many WordPress extensions. Some of these extensions are given carte blanche within the application, including full access rights to the database. 

For example, some extensions modify database records that don’t “belong” to the extension itself but are instead created and managed by other extensions (or even the base CMS itself). The extension may not know how to revert alterations to database records, so it will ignore such things during uninstallation. 

Your best course of action is to open the database and manually look through records that the extension modified. 

Troubleshooting on the Server-Side

If you aren’t running a CMS application — or even if you are, but you’re confident the 405 Method Not Allowed error isn’t related to that — here are some additional tips to help you troubleshoot what might be causing the issue on the server-side of things.

Confirm Your Server Configuration

Your application is likely running on a server using one of these three popular webserver software: Apache, nginx, or Cloudflare. At the time of publication, these web servers make up over 86% of the world’s web server software! Check your configuration files for your web server software for unintentional redirect or request handling instructions.

Apache

To determine which web server your application uses, look for a key file. If your web server is Apache, look for an .htaccess file within the root directory of your website file system. 

For example, if your application is on a shared host, you’ll likely have a username associated with the hosting account. You can find the application root directory at the path of /home/<username>/public_html/, so the .htaccess file would be at /home/<username>/public_html/.htaccess.

Once you’ve located the .htaccess file, open it in a text editor. Look for lines that use RewriteXXX directives, which are part of the mod rewrite module in Apache. Covering exactly how these rules work is well beyond the scope of this article. However, the basic concept is that a RewriteCond directive defines a text-based pattern that is matched against entered URLs. Suppose a visitor requests a matching URL to the site. In that case, the RewriteRule directive that follows one or more RewriteCond directives is used to perform the actual redirection of the request to the appropriate URL.

For example, here is a simple RewriteRule that matches all incoming GET requests to https://airbrake.io/users/create and responds with a 405 Method Not Allowed error code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/users/create/?.*$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =GET

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://airbrake.io/users/new$1 [R=405,L]

Notice the R=405 flag at the end of the RewriteRule, which explicitly states that the response code should be 405. This indicates to user agents that the resource exists, but the provided HTTP method is not allowed. If you find any strange RewriteCond or RewriteRuledirectives in the .htaccess file that doesn’t belong, try temporarily commenting them out (using the # character prefix) and restarting your web server to see if this resolves the issue.

nginx

On the other hand, if your server is running on nginx, you’ll need to look for a completely different configuration file. By default this file is named nginx.conf. It’s located in one of a few common directories: /usr/local/nginx/conf, /etc/nginx, or /usr/local/etc/nginx. 

Once located, open nginx.conf in a text editor and look for directives that are using the 405 response code flag. For example, here is a simple block directive (i.e. a named set of directives) that configures a virtual server for airbrake.io and ensures that a POST request to https://airbrake.io/users/create fails and is responded with a 405 response code:

server { 

    listen 80;

    listen 443 ssl;    

    server_name airbrake.io;    

    location /users/create {

        if ($request_method = POST) {

            return 405 https://airbrake.io/users/create$request_uri;

        }

    }

}

Look through your nginx.conf file for any abnormal directives or lines that include the 405 flag. Comment out any abnormalities. Once that’s done, restart the server and see if the issue is resolved.

Configuration options for each different type of web server can vary dramatically. We’ll just list a few popular ones to give you some resources to look through:

  • Apache
  • Nginx
  • Cloudflare
  • IIS
  • Node.js
  • Apache Tomcat

Look Through the Logs

Nearly every web application will keep some form of server-side logs. Application logs are typically the history of what the application did, such as pages requested, connected servers, database results, etc. 

Server logs are related to the actual hardware running the application. Logs will often provide details about the health and status of all connected services or the server itself. 

Google “logs [PLATFORM_NAME]” if you’re using a CMS, or “logs [PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE]” and “logs [OPERATING_SYSTEM]” if you’re running a custom application to get more information on finding the logs in question.

Debug Your Application Code or Scripts

If all else fails, it may be a problem in some custom code within your application. Manually debug your application and parse through application and server logs to diagnose where the issue may be coming from. Or, you can see the error in a manner of seconds using an error monitoring tool.

Airbrake’s error and performance monitoring software provides real-time error monitoring and automatic exception reporting for all development projects. In addition to this, Airbrake integrates with all popular languages and frameworks. Plus, Airbrake makes it easy to customize exception parameters, so you only gather the errors that matter.

See why so many of the world’s best engineering teams use Airbrake to revolutionize their exception handling practices and create your free dev account today.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) response status codes. Status codes are issued by a server in response to a client’s request made to the server. It includes codes from IETF Request for Comments (RFCs), other specifications, and some additional codes used in some common applications of the HTTP. The first digit of the status code specifies one of five standard classes of responses. The optional message phrases shown are typical, but any human-readable alternative may be provided, or none at all.

Unless otherwise stated, the status code is part of the HTTP standard (RFC 9110).

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains the official registry of HTTP status codes.[1]

All HTTP response status codes are separated into five classes or categories. The first digit of the status code defines the class of response, while the last two digits do not have any classifying or categorization role. There are five classes defined by the standard:

  • 1xx informational response – the request was received, continuing process
  • 2xx successful – the request was successfully received, understood, and accepted
  • 3xx redirection – further action needs to be taken in order to complete the request
  • 4xx client error – the request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled
  • 5xx server error – the server failed to fulfil an apparently valid request

1xx informational response

An informational response indicates that the request was received and understood. It is issued on a provisional basis while request processing continues. It alerts the client to wait for a final response. The message consists only of the status line and optional header fields, and is terminated by an empty line. As the HTTP/1.0 standard did not define any 1xx status codes, servers must not[note 1] send a 1xx response to an HTTP/1.0 compliant client except under experimental conditions.

100 Continue
The server has received the request headers and the client should proceed to send the request body (in the case of a request for which a body needs to be sent; for example, a POST request). Sending a large request body to a server after a request has been rejected for inappropriate headers would be inefficient. To have a server check the request’s headers, a client must send Expect: 100-continue as a header in its initial request and receive a 100 Continue status code in response before sending the body. If the client receives an error code such as 403 (Forbidden) or 405 (Method Not Allowed) then it should not send the request’s body. The response 417 Expectation Failed indicates that the request should be repeated without the Expect header as it indicates that the server does not support expectations (this is the case, for example, of HTTP/1.0 servers).[2]
101 Switching Protocols
The requester has asked the server to switch protocols and the server has agreed to do so.
102 Processing (WebDAV; RFC 2518)
A WebDAV request may contain many sub-requests involving file operations, requiring a long time to complete the request. This code indicates that the server has received and is processing the request, but no response is available yet.[3] This prevents the client from timing out and assuming the request was lost. The status code is deprecated.[4]
103 Early Hints (RFC 8297)
Used to return some response headers before final HTTP message.[5]

2xx success

This class of status codes indicates the action requested by the client was received, understood, and accepted.[1]

200 OK
Standard response for successful HTTP requests. The actual response will depend on the request method used. In a GET request, the response will contain an entity corresponding to the requested resource. In a POST request, the response will contain an entity describing or containing the result of the action.
201 Created
The request has been fulfilled, resulting in the creation of a new resource.[6]
202 Accepted
The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not be eventually acted upon, and may be disallowed when processing occurs.
203 Non-Authoritative Information (since HTTP/1.1)
The server is a transforming proxy (e.g. a Web accelerator) that received a 200 OK from its origin, but is returning a modified version of the origin’s response.[7][8]
204 No Content
The server successfully processed the request, and is not returning any content.
205 Reset Content
The server successfully processed the request, asks that the requester reset its document view, and is not returning any content.
206 Partial Content
The server is delivering only part of the resource (byte serving) due to a range header sent by the client. The range header is used by HTTP clients to enable resuming of interrupted downloads, or split a download into multiple simultaneous streams.
207 Multi-Status (WebDAV; RFC 4918)
The message body that follows is by default an XML message and can contain a number of separate response codes, depending on how many sub-requests were made.[9]
208 Already Reported (WebDAV; RFC 5842)
The members of a DAV binding have already been enumerated in a preceding part of the (multistatus) response, and are not being included again.
226 IM Used (RFC 3229)
The server has fulfilled a request for the resource, and the response is a representation of the result of one or more instance-manipulations applied to the current instance.[10]

3xx redirection

This class of status code indicates the client must take additional action to complete the request. Many of these status codes are used in URL redirection.[1]

A user agent may carry out the additional action with no user interaction only if the method used in the second request is GET or HEAD. A user agent may automatically redirect a request. A user agent should detect and intervene to prevent cyclical redirects.[11]

300 Multiple Choices
Indicates multiple options for the resource from which the client may choose (via agent-driven content negotiation). For example, this code could be used to present multiple video format options, to list files with different filename extensions, or to suggest word-sense disambiguation.
301 Moved Permanently
This and all future requests should be directed to the given URI.
302 Found (Previously «Moved temporarily»)
Tells the client to look at (browse to) another URL. The HTTP/1.0 specification (RFC 1945) required the client to perform a temporary redirect with the same method (the original describing phrase was «Moved Temporarily»),[12] but popular browsers implemented 302 redirects by changing the method to GET. Therefore, HTTP/1.1 added status codes 303 and 307 to distinguish between the two behaviours.[11]
303 See Other (since HTTP/1.1)
The response to the request can be found under another URI using the GET method. When received in response to a POST (or PUT/DELETE), the client should presume that the server has received the data and should issue a new GET request to the given URI.
304 Not Modified
Indicates that the resource has not been modified since the version specified by the request headers If-Modified-Since or If-None-Match. In such case, there is no need to retransmit the resource since the client still has a previously-downloaded copy.
305 Use Proxy (since HTTP/1.1)
The requested resource is available only through a proxy, the address for which is provided in the response. For security reasons, many HTTP clients (such as Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer) do not obey this status code.
306 Switch Proxy
No longer used. Originally meant «Subsequent requests should use the specified proxy.»
307 Temporary Redirect (since HTTP/1.1)
In this case, the request should be repeated with another URI; however, future requests should still use the original URI. In contrast to how 302 was historically implemented, the request method is not allowed to be changed when reissuing the original request. For example, a POST request should be repeated using another POST request.
308 Permanent Redirect
This and all future requests should be directed to the given URI. 308 parallel the behaviour of 301, but does not allow the HTTP method to change. So, for example, submitting a form to a permanently redirected resource may continue smoothly.

4xx client errors

A The Wikimedia 404 message

This class of status code is intended for situations in which the error seems to have been caused by the client. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server should include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. These status codes are applicable to any request method. User agents should display any included entity to the user.

400 Bad Request
The server cannot or will not process the request due to an apparent client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, size too large, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing).
401 Unauthorized
Similar to 403 Forbidden, but specifically for use when authentication is required and has failed or has not yet been provided. The response must include a WWW-Authenticate header field containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. See Basic access authentication and Digest access authentication. 401 semantically means «unauthorised», the user does not have valid authentication credentials for the target resource.
Some sites incorrectly issue HTTP 401 when an IP address is banned from the website (usually the website domain) and that specific address is refused permission to access a website.[citation needed]
402 Payment Required
Reserved for future use. The original intention was that this code might be used as part of some form of digital cash or micropayment scheme, as proposed, for example, by GNU Taler,[14] but that has not yet happened, and this code is not widely used. Google Developers API uses this status if a particular developer has exceeded the daily limit on requests.[15] Sipgate uses this code if an account does not have sufficient funds to start a call.[16] Shopify uses this code when the store has not paid their fees and is temporarily disabled.[17] Stripe uses this code for failed payments where parameters were correct, for example blocked fraudulent payments.[18]
403 Forbidden
The request contained valid data and was understood by the server, but the server is refusing action. This may be due to the user not having the necessary permissions for a resource or needing an account of some sort, or attempting a prohibited action (e.g. creating a duplicate record where only one is allowed). This code is also typically used if the request provided authentication by answering the WWW-Authenticate header field challenge, but the server did not accept that authentication. The request should not be repeated.
404 Not Found
The requested resource could not be found but may be available in the future. Subsequent requests by the client are permissible.
405 Method Not Allowed
A request method is not supported for the requested resource; for example, a GET request on a form that requires data to be presented via POST, or a PUT request on a read-only resource.
406 Not Acceptable
The requested resource is capable of generating only content not acceptable according to the Accept headers sent in the request. See Content negotiation.
407 Proxy Authentication Required
The client must first authenticate itself with the proxy.
408 Request Timeout
The server timed out waiting for the request. According to HTTP specifications: «The client did not produce a request within the time that the server was prepared to wait. The client MAY repeat the request without modifications at any later time.»
409 Conflict
Indicates that the request could not be processed because of conflict in the current state of the resource, such as an edit conflict between multiple simultaneous updates.
410 Gone
Indicates that the resource requested was previously in use but is no longer available and will not be available again. This should be used when a resource has been intentionally removed and the resource should be purged. Upon receiving a 410 status code, the client should not request the resource in the future. Clients such as search engines should remove the resource from their indices. Most use cases do not require clients and search engines to purge the resource, and a «404 Not Found» may be used instead.
411 Length Required
The request did not specify the length of its content, which is required by the requested resource.
412 Precondition Failed
The server does not meet one of the preconditions that the requester put on the request header fields.
413 Payload Too Large
The request is larger than the server is willing or able to process. Previously called «Request Entity Too Large» in RFC 2616.[19]
414 URI Too Long
The URI provided was too long for the server to process. Often the result of too much data being encoded as a query-string of a GET request, in which case it should be converted to a POST request. Called «Request-URI Too Long» previously in RFC 2616.[20]
415 Unsupported Media Type
The request entity has a media type which the server or resource does not support. For example, the client uploads an image as image/svg+xml, but the server requires that images use a different format.
416 Range Not Satisfiable
The client has asked for a portion of the file (byte serving), but the server cannot supply that portion. For example, if the client asked for a part of the file that lies beyond the end of the file. Called «Requested Range Not Satisfiable» previously RFC 2616.[21]
417 Expectation Failed
The server cannot meet the requirements of the Expect request-header field.[22]
418 I’m a teapot (RFC 2324, RFC 7168)
This code was defined in 1998 as one of the traditional IETF April Fools’ jokes, in RFC 2324, Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol, and is not expected to be implemented by actual HTTP servers. The RFC specifies this code should be returned by teapots requested to brew coffee.[23] This HTTP status is used as an Easter egg in some websites, such as Google.com’s «I’m a teapot» easter egg.[24][25][26] Sometimes, this status code is also used as a response to a blocked request, instead of the more appropriate 403 Forbidden.[27][28]
421 Misdirected Request
The request was directed at a server that is not able to produce a response (for example because of connection reuse).
422 Unprocessable Entity
The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors.[9]
423 Locked (WebDAV; RFC 4918)
The resource that is being accessed is locked.[9]
424 Failed Dependency (WebDAV; RFC 4918)
The request failed because it depended on another request and that request failed (e.g., a PROPPATCH).[9]
425 Too Early (RFC 8470)
Indicates that the server is unwilling to risk processing a request that might be replayed.
426 Upgrade Required
The client should switch to a different protocol such as TLS/1.3, given in the Upgrade header field.
428 Precondition Required (RFC 6585)
The origin server requires the request to be conditional. Intended to prevent the ‘lost update’ problem, where a client GETs a resource’s state, modifies it, and PUTs it back to the server, when meanwhile a third party has modified the state on the server, leading to a conflict.[29]
429 Too Many Requests (RFC 6585)
The user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time. Intended for use with rate-limiting schemes.[29]
431 Request Header Fields Too Large (RFC 6585)
The server is unwilling to process the request because either an individual header field, or all the header fields collectively, are too large.[29]
451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons (RFC 7725)
A server operator has received a legal demand to deny access to a resource or to a set of resources that includes the requested resource.[30] The code 451 was chosen as a reference to the novel Fahrenheit 451 (see the Acknowledgements in the RFC).

5xx server errors

The server failed to fulfil a request.

Response status codes beginning with the digit «5» indicate cases in which the server is aware that it has encountered an error or is otherwise incapable of performing the request. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server should include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and indicate whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. Likewise, user agents should display any included entity to the user. These response codes are applicable to any request method.

500 Internal Server Error
A generic error message, given when an unexpected condition was encountered and no more specific message is suitable.
501 Not Implemented
The server either does not recognize the request method, or it lacks the ability to fulfil the request. Usually this implies future availability (e.g., a new feature of a web-service API).
502 Bad Gateway
The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and received an invalid response from the upstream server.
503 Service Unavailable
The server cannot handle the request (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance). Generally, this is a temporary state.[31]
504 Gateway Timeout
The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and did not receive a timely response from the upstream server.
505 HTTP Version Not Supported
The server does not support the HTTP version used in the request.
506 Variant Also Negotiates (RFC 2295)
Transparent content negotiation for the request results in a circular reference.[32]
507 Insufficient Storage (WebDAV; RFC 4918)
The server is unable to store the representation needed to complete the request.[9]
508 Loop Detected (WebDAV; RFC 5842)
The server detected an infinite loop while processing the request (sent instead of 208 Already Reported).
510 Not Extended (RFC 2774)
Further extensions to the request are required for the server to fulfil it.[33]
511 Network Authentication Required (RFC 6585)
The client needs to authenticate to gain network access. Intended for use by intercepting proxies used to control access to the network (e.g., «captive portals» used to require agreement to Terms of Service before granting full Internet access via a Wi-Fi hotspot).[29]

Unofficial codes

The following codes are not specified by any standard.

419 Page Expired (Laravel Framework)
Used by the Laravel Framework when a CSRF Token is missing or expired.
420 Method Failure (Spring Framework)
A deprecated response used by the Spring Framework when a method has failed.[34]
420 Enhance Your Calm (Twitter)
Returned by version 1 of the Twitter Search and Trends API when the client is being rate limited; versions 1.1 and later use the 429 Too Many Requests response code instead.[35] The phrase «Enhance your calm» comes from the 1993 movie Demolition Man, and its association with this number is likely a reference to cannabis.[citation needed]
430 Request Header Fields Too Large (Shopify)
Used by Shopify, instead of the 429 Too Many Requests response code, when too many URLs are requested within a certain time frame.[36]
450 Blocked by Windows Parental Controls (Microsoft)
The Microsoft extension code indicated when Windows Parental Controls are turned on and are blocking access to the requested webpage.[37]
498 Invalid Token (Esri)
Returned by ArcGIS for Server. Code 498 indicates an expired or otherwise invalid token.[38]
499 Token Required (Esri)
Returned by ArcGIS for Server. Code 499 indicates that a token is required but was not submitted.[38]
509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded (Apache Web Server/cPanel)
The server has exceeded the bandwidth specified by the server administrator; this is often used by shared hosting providers to limit the bandwidth of customers.[39]
529 Site is overloaded
Used by Qualys in the SSLLabs server testing API to signal that the site can’t process the request.[40]
530 Site is frozen
Used by the Pantheon Systems web platform to indicate a site that has been frozen due to inactivity.[41]
598 (Informal convention) Network read timeout error
Used by some HTTP proxies to signal a network read timeout behind the proxy to a client in front of the proxy.[42]
599 Network Connect Timeout Error
An error used by some HTTP proxies to signal a network connect timeout behind the proxy to a client in front of the proxy.

Internet Information Services

Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS) web server expands the 4xx error space to signal errors with the client’s request.

440 Login Time-out
The client’s session has expired and must log in again.[43]
449 Retry With
The server cannot honour the request because the user has not provided the required information.[44]
451 Redirect
Used in Exchange ActiveSync when either a more efficient server is available or the server cannot access the users’ mailbox.[45] The client is expected to re-run the HTTP AutoDiscover operation to find a more appropriate server.[46]

IIS sometimes uses additional decimal sub-codes for more specific information,[47] however these sub-codes only appear in the response payload and in documentation, not in the place of an actual HTTP status code.

nginx

The nginx web server software expands the 4xx error space to signal issues with the client’s request.[48][49]

444 No Response
Used internally[50] to instruct the server to return no information to the client and close the connection immediately.
494 Request header too large
Client sent too large request or too long header line.
495 SSL Certificate Error
An expansion of the 400 Bad Request response code, used when the client has provided an invalid client certificate.
496 SSL Certificate Required
An expansion of the 400 Bad Request response code, used when a client certificate is required but not provided.
497 HTTP Request Sent to HTTPS Port
An expansion of the 400 Bad Request response code, used when the client has made a HTTP request to a port listening for HTTPS requests.
499 Client Closed Request
Used when the client has closed the request before the server could send a response.

Cloudflare

Cloudflare’s reverse proxy service expands the 5xx series of errors space to signal issues with the origin server.[51]

520 Web Server Returned an Unknown Error
The origin server returned an empty, unknown, or unexpected response to Cloudflare.[52]
521 Web Server Is Down
The origin server refused connections from Cloudflare. Security solutions at the origin may be blocking legitimate connections from certain Cloudflare IP addresses.
522 Connection Timed Out
Cloudflare timed out contacting the origin server.
523 Origin Is Unreachable
Cloudflare could not reach the origin server; for example, if the DNS records for the origin server are incorrect or missing.
524 A Timeout Occurred
Cloudflare was able to complete a TCP connection to the origin server, but did not receive a timely HTTP response.
525 SSL Handshake Failed
Cloudflare could not negotiate a SSL/TLS handshake with the origin server.
526 Invalid SSL Certificate
Cloudflare could not validate the SSL certificate on the origin web server. Also used by Cloud Foundry’s gorouter.
527 Railgun Error
Error 527 indicates an interrupted connection between Cloudflare and the origin server’s Railgun server.[53]
530
Error 530 is returned along with a 1xxx error.[54]

AWS Elastic Load Balancer

Amazon’s Elastic Load Balancing adds a few custom return codes

460
Client closed the connection with the load balancer before the idle timeout period elapsed. Typically when client timeout is sooner than the Elastic Load Balancer’s timeout.[55]
463
The load balancer received an X-Forwarded-For request header with more than 30 IP addresses.[55]
464
Incompatible protocol versions between Client and Origin server.[55]
561 Unauthorized
An error around authentication returned by a server registered with a load balancer. You configured a listener rule to authenticate users, but the identity provider (IdP) returned an error code when authenticating the user.[55]

Caching warning codes (obsoleted)

The following caching related warning codes were specified under RFC 7234. Unlike the other status codes above, these were not sent as the response status in the HTTP protocol, but as part of the «Warning» HTTP header.[56][57]

Since this «Warning» header is often neither sent by servers nor acknowledged by clients, this header and its codes were obsoleted by the HTTP Working Group in 2022 with RFC 9111.[58]

110 Response is Stale
The response provided by a cache is stale (the content’s age exceeds a maximum age set by a Cache-Control header or heuristically chosen lifetime).
111 Revalidation Failed
The cache was unable to validate the response, due to an inability to reach the origin server.
112 Disconnected Operation
The cache is intentionally disconnected from the rest of the network.
113 Heuristic Expiration
The cache heuristically chose a freshness lifetime greater than 24 hours and the response’s age is greater than 24 hours.
199 Miscellaneous Warning
Arbitrary, non-specific warning. The warning text may be logged or presented to the user.
214 Transformation Applied
Added by a proxy if it applies any transformation to the representation, such as changing the content encoding, media type or the like.
299 Miscellaneous Persistent Warning
Same as 199, but indicating a persistent warning.
