  Same. I know and see several of the codes all the time. But occasionally I encounter a weird one and I always go to http.cat to find out what it is.

      ...which is when you set up a browser bookmark with a keyword, so you can just type "http 411" and it will redirect you! :-) Eg.: "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Status/%s https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/..." would then go to: "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Status/401 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/..."
