Frequently asked questions
Does it check a real URL?
No. It searches a built-in reference and does not contact or test a server.
Does it include every number and vendor-specific status?
No. The table covers 63 registry entries, excluding unassigned ranges, temporary code 104, and vendor-specific codes. Check IANA for the latest registry.
Is 418 the teapot code?
That is its historical nickname, but RFC 9110 and the current IANA registry mark it as unused. The reference makes that distinction explicit.
Can a status code alone diagnose a failure?
No. Inspect response headers, content, and logs to determine whether an application, proxy, or gateway produced the response.
