-The HTTP protocol, which is used to retrieve documents (usually web pages) from the internet for display in a web browser, provides a number of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes| standard error codes]] to indicate conditions or status relative to the process. The most widely known of these is the notorious code 404 - "File not found." This error may occur for a number of reasons, but most commonly it indicates a broken link. Perhaps there is a typographical error in your html, or maybe the document was moved to a new location without the needed changes made to the referring link. What happens at this point is that the web browser asking for the missing document receives a special error message web page instead. This page is usually provided by the server, but may in some instances be generated by the browser. The error page may be rather generic, or it may be customized for the originating site.+The HTTP protocol, which is used to retrieve documents (usually web pages) from the internet for display in a web browser, provides a number of [[wp>List_of_HTTP_status_codes| standard error codes]] to indicate conditions or status relative to the process.
