Http Status codes

Imagine you're exploring the vast world of the internet, clicking from one webpage to another. Suddenly, you encounter a message that says "404 Not Found" or "500 Internal Server Error." Confusing, right? But don't worry, these messages are actually trying to communicate with you through what we call HTTP status codes.

HTTP status codes are like little notes sent from a website's server to your browser, letting you know what's happening behind the scenes. They're like the secret language of the internet, helping you understand if everything's working smoothly or if there's a hiccup along the way. Certainly! Here's a simple tabular format listing some of the most common HTTP status codes along with their meanings:
