I came across a HTTP 400 error today while attempting to visit a site that was suffering the digg effect. I blushed. I blushed because it was my very first time. Knowing the 400 series of responses from the hypertext transfer protocol covers client specific errors, I checked if I sending any strange headers? Nope - nothing unusual there. Hmmmm!

Furrow browed, I had a quick gander at the W3C HTTP/1.1 RFC - the 400 error code is returned for a 'Bad Request'. I apologised and hit reload. Same error. I hit reload again... same error. I hit reload lots...

The site eventually loads. I wonder why I'd bothered hitting reload so many times. As I hit the back button I reflected that soon the name of the site will be lost to me, filed under miscellaneous and eventually forgotten. But my experience there will live on. It was after all, my very first time...

Anyway - the list of HTTP/1.1 response codes:

(Note to reader: I'm having one of those daze...)
