Not sure why this is useful but hey also it looks abit copied ..

[zainx]

i dont think he knows wot it is

[JoeComins]

oi.i no wut i'm doin. its copied off my web site. and it could be useful

[Mentor]

its bascily what the number the computer assigns request on how they turn out, about 90% of them you will most likly never run in to.

404s the most common error, wich is page not found all shoudl know.
But you will mostly just get Ok,s (200) wich just shows teh page. Appart from a few error messages most of this seems pretty useless. unless your interested in protcol request numbers etc (grossy incorect termonolgy may have been used due to lazyness of rembering correct words)

401's and 404's are the only ones I have ever ran into.

[-JT-]

there can be 405's which can happen often but alot of it is just server muck ups.
