Http 400 - HTML Forums

Not sure where to put this.

I just tried to view my site www.apnaonline.ca in FF and IE7 and they both come back with HTTP 400 errors.

Firefox:

Quote:

Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

IE7:

Quote:

The webpage cannot be found
HTTP 400
Most likely causes:
There might be a typing error in the address.
If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.

What you can try:
Retype the address.

Go back to the previous page.

Go to www.apnaonline.ca and look for the information you want.

is this just like a 404?

What would cause this?

"The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications."

The server wasn't able to understand the URL. It could be any misconfigurations, especially the .htaccess file with apache, or any of the configuration files in apache. If you are not using apache I really wouldn't have guesses, but you could always Google.

Turns out the server was down. Problem is fixed.

I usually will get a 404 when it goes down.

Thanks,

Could range from a lot of errors. I'm surprised it wasn't a 500 error; but the source of the problem was found and fixed so all is good

erisco, 500 based errors are server responses from script errors or runtime errors. 400 are malformed to fnf or 404 not found
