A large percentage of Internet users around the world know what 404 means without any additional information. This number is one of the most used when making memes, for example, even on shirts with technical drawings and logos. The number is associated with one of the most troublesome things ever, "The page you want to access is not available either because it was deleted or moved to another link, make sure you are not using a corrupt link and try again."
Of course, no one likes to see this annoying message. Watching it means that what you're looking for does not exist at all or is not in the place you know at least, but unlike many other multi-number error reports, Access to part of the fame of the report 404 and its transformation into a cultural icon distinguishes most people. The reason for this fame is not really known, but there are some hypotheses and theories about it.
Legend of Room 404:
The most famous achievements of the European Research Center include the Large Hadron Collider and its discovery of the Higgs boson, but the basis of the Web we know today came from this research center and the first web page in the history of the Internet.
If you do not know it, the World Wide Web, which actually reads these words differently from the Internet, is part and parcel of the Internet, and it is many years late. While the Internet started from the primary networks in the 1970s, The web we know is not published until 1991 and did not come in a gradual way. It came from a research paper presented in 1990 that outlined the mechanism of the work of sites and pages and the interaction between them and users through the so-called interactive text transfer protocol (HTTP).
The myth is that the first programmer, Tim Berners-Lee, who worked for the European Center for Research (CERN), was working in his 404 office building and was always lost and unable to access it. The office also included the first server in Web history Making a 404 adhering to the error report not finding the requested page where only "Error 404" appears without any further explanation.
How credible is myth?
All error reports starting with the number 4 are usually related to servers, 403 mean that the page is blocked, 404 means that it is not present and 408 means that the time the server received the request ended before the request arrived.
According to the world, Robert Cailliau, who was one of the first to work with the world Lee on the network project, the myth has no credibility and no more than fantasies woven human imagination to add more excitement and enthusiasm to the story of the report famous and hated, the reality and the story is somewhat boring and does not carry anything enthusiastic , The 404 office did not exist at all and the full details of the story came from fiction.
According to Calliau, the naming did not have any special meaning at all, but it came from the order of errors in itself. The errors of numbers within 400 are the errors of the client (Client errors) and therefore the page does not exist makes sense to take a number in this range Come from the client, not from the user and from the server. Other client error reports are within the same range as error report 403 that appears when trying to access a blocked site (either from your ISP or from the site itself)
errors 1xx : information
errors 2xx : Success
errors 3xx: Redirects
errors 4xx : An error from the client computer's partner
errors 5xx : Server-side error
In the view of Calliau, the excessive popularity of Report 404 is due to a very simple reason. The Web is a very random place and a few organizations and sites open and close permanently. Thousands of pages appear and disappear every day. The report is very widespread. Which meant that writing the report number instead of its number and details was a process of saving space and work and thus contributed to the fame of the above report
404 Character Error Pages:
Previously, pages that did not include any content appearing in a small text at the top of the screen to the left included "Error 404 Not Found" only without any formations, ornaments or other things, but the fame and spread of error in the public culture made many sites design pages dedicated to error With its own character and distinct from the monotonous form of text.
