500-599: Server Error Status Codes

Sometimes a client sends a valid request, but the server itself has an error. This could be a client running into a limitation of the server or an error in one of the server's subcomponents, such as a gateway resource.

Proxies often run into problems when trying to talk to servers on a client's behalf. Proxies issue 5XX server error status codes to describe the problem (Chapter 6 covers this in detail). Table 3-10 lists the defined server error status codes.
