Here are a few common Web error codes:
400 Bad Request
Server does not recognize the URL. Double check to see that you have typed it correctly.
401 Unauthorized User
This usually appears when you do not enter the correct ID or password to access a protected Internet site.
403 Forbidden Pages
You are not being allowed access, for whatever reason. If you have registered with a site that requires a password, and still get this message, check to see that you have correctly typed the password.
404 Not Found
It could be that the page you are searching for has been deleted, or its name has been changed or modified on the server. You can try deleting portions of the URL, starting at the end, and see what comes up.
415 Unsupported Media Type
The server will not accept the request, because the media type is not supported

500 Internal Error
The server was unable to send the html document to you due to an internal (server software) error.
501 Not implemented
This error occurs when for example, you have pressed the submit button on a form. The server replies with this error message because it does not support the feature that you have requested. This is not a common error, but typically occurs when new features or forms are implemented.
502 Service Temporarily Overloaded
Too many people are trying to access the same site you are. You may also get the message Network connection refused by the server or too many connections. Try hitting the Reload or Refresh button; if that does not help, try the site again later.

The page is there but is not accessible at the moment. Hitting Reload or Refresh a few times may solve the problem; if not, try again later.
