http-status-codes

I’ve got a situation with a large internal corporate web based application running ASP.NET 3.5 on IIS6 generating 401 “Unauthorised” responses followed by 200 “Ok” responses (as profiled by Fiddler). I’m aware of why this happening (integrated auth forcing the browser to resend credentials) but I’m looking for some thoughts on how to minimise or eradicate the situation. The application in question is running in the WAN with some users experiencing latency of up to 250ms so forcing a subsequent request can have a noticeable impact on page load time, particularly when there are a number of

Project: ASP MVC 4 running under .net 4.0 framework: When running an application under VS 2010 express (or deployed and running under IIS 7.5 on my local machine) the following (pseudocode) result from an action works as expected [HttpPost] public ActionResult PostWord(Model model) { .... Response.StatusCode = 400; Return new JsonResult { data = new {fieldName = "Word", error = "Not really a word!" } }; (and I have assigned ContentType and ContentEncoding properties of the JsonResult object, with no difference in behaviour) When the deployable is moved onto a web host (using IIS 7), firebug is

I am trying to capture http status code 3XX/302 for a redirection url. But I cannot get it because it gives 200 status code. Here is the code: import requests r = requests.get('http://goo.gl/NZek5') print r.status_code I suppose this should issue either 301 or 302 because it redirects to another page. I had tried few redirecting urls (for e.g. http://fb.com ) but again it is issuing the 200. What should be done to capture the redirection code properly? requests handles redirects for you , see redirection and history . Set allow_redirects=False if you don't want requests to handle redirections,

I'm upgrading our REST API endpoints and I want to notify clients when they are calling the to-be-deprecated endpoint. What header should I use in the response with a message along the lines of "This API version is being deprecated, please consult the latest documentation to update your endpoints" I would not change anything in the status code to be backward compatible. I would add a "Warning" header in the response : Warning: 299 - "Deprecated API" You can also specify the "-" with the "Agent" that emits the warning, and be more explicit in the warn-text : Warning: 299 api.blazingFrog.com

In one of the answers that I have received here , I encountered a problem of not knowing how to pass automatically through "Google App Engines" my ID and a password to a website, on which I am a registered user and have an account. A suggestion was given to me to "check for an HTTP status code of 401, "authorization required", and provide the kind of HTTP authorization (basic, digest, whatever) that the site is asking for". I don't know how to check for status code. Can anyone, please, tell me how to do it? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Additional Information: If I use this way in Google
