3 character code in response headers

External Since: Apr 13, 2004 Posts: 3

I was using telnet to generate response headers that I could use in a
presentation. I noticed a 3 character code that appears in Apache's
response right before the first line of the document. It looks like this:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.domain.net

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2004 02:39:28 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix)
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html

414 <===== This line
<html>
<head>

Does anyone know what that 414 is? I recall reading about it somewhere
but can't remember where. It is different depending on the document that
I request and I encounter it on a handful of different web servers.

I think that that line is in the HTML file you've been
served because it doesn't mean anything by the
standard.

Unless is another 'Microsoft's standard'.
