What are HTTP status codes greater than 599 used for in practice?
It'd be interesting to see another Cloudflare blog post that just goes into detail on the weird protocol behaviour they've had to work around over the years. I imagine they have more insight into this than pretty much any other organisation on the planet.
- Matthias247 4y agoIf you are in the HTTP proxying business, you might not even know. It's just customer workflows using those status codes. And you can pick either to support them, or to lose the ability to handle traffic for those customers.
- jenny91 4y agoPresumably custom statuses for app-to-app traffic or someone's weird API, etc.
- masklinn 4y agoI concur with custom signals, using a code >= 600 mitigates the risk that it would ever be allocated, or that you'd conflict with an existing unofficial use.
