How to read this

  • The first digit of a status code carries the meaning: 4 means the request, 5 means the server.
  • 404 means "not there"; 403 means "there, but not for you". Swapping them makes debugging slower.
  • Header names are case-insensitive — Content-Type and content-type are the same header.
  • Caching and CORS problems usually come down to one header line, visible in the browser’s network tab.
