Method Not Allowed
406 The client (webbrowser) does not accept the document format. The formats that may be specified not to accept are charset, encoding, certain file types, languages, or ranges. Not Acceptable
407 The browser has not been authenticated on the required proxy server to access the data. This error is probably most commonly returned by content filters/parental controls. Proxy Authentication Required
408 The server has closed the socket due to communications between the client and server taking too long. This could be due to server load, bandwidth issues, the client being disconnected from the internet, etc. Request Timeout
409 Too many requests for the same file at one time. OR There is a conflict with an established software rule. (ie: you are trying to copy over a file with an older version, or you do not have permissions to delete a file) OR This could be caused by a DNS issue. Conflict
410 This is like a 404 error in that the document requested is not on the server, however this differs in that the server ‘knows’ that the file used to be there and ‘believes’ that the file may be back, so it returns 410 rather 404. Gone

415 This usually occurs if the server does not support the type of media the client is requesting. (ie: the server does not support streaming media, but streaming media is on the server and the client is attempting to access it) Unsupported Media Type
416 The client request included a range for acceptable file size, however the document requested did not fit into that range. Requested Range Not Satisfiable
417 The client’s expect header requested certain server behaviors that the server could not perform. Expectation Failed
