Error Questions

A Resource Not Modified error (304) indicates that a resource has not changed since the last request, leading to a cached response. This is typically not an error but a performance optimization. Ensure that caching headers are correctly implemented and understand the role of 304 responses in optimizing resource delivery.

A File Size Limit Exceeded error happens when an uploaded file exceeds the allowed size limit. Implement file size validation both client-side and server-side, provide clear feedback to users about file size restrictions, and adjust server settings if necessary to handle larger file uploads within acceptable limits.

Session Hijacking occurs when an attacker gains unauthorized access to a user's session, often through stolen session IDs or cookies. Implement session management best practices, use secure cookies, and apply session expiration and regeneration strategies to protect against session hijacking and enhance security.

An Invalid Email Format error occurs when an email address does not adhere to standard formatting rules, such as missing '@' or domain parts. Implement email format validation using regular expressions, provide user-friendly error messages, and ensure that email addresses are properly validated before processing.

A Server Error 503 (Service Unavailable) occurs when the server is temporarily unable to handle requests, often due to overload or maintenance. Check server health, ensure adequate resources, and configure load balancing or maintenance modes. Inform users of service interruptions and provide estimated recovery times.

A Deprecated Function Warning occurs when code uses functions or methods that are marked as deprecated. Update the code to use recommended alternatives, check documentation for updated functions, and refactor code to maintain compatibility with current standards and avoid future issues.

SQL Injection occurs when an attacker inserts malicious SQL code into a query, which can compromise the database. Prevent SQL Injection by using parameterized queries or prepared statements, validating and escaping user input, and implementing robust input validation and sanitization practices.

An Invalid Form Action error occurs when a form submits data to a URL that does not exist or is incorrect. Verify that the action attribute in the form tag points to the correct URL, and ensure that the server-side endpoint is properly configured to handle the form submission.

An API Version Mismatch error occurs when the client and server are using incompatible API versions. Ensure that both client and server are using the same version of the API, update versions as needed, and consult API documentation to manage version compatibility and avoid mismatches.

A JavaScript Syntax Error occurs when there are mistakes in the JavaScript code syntax, such as missing brackets or semicolons. Use browser developer tools to identify syntax errors, correct the code based on error messages, and ensure that scripts follow proper syntax rules to execute successfully.

An Invalid Path Variable error occurs when a path variable in a URL does not match the expected format or value. Verify that path variables are correctly formatted and correspond to the expected values in routing configurations. Implement validation to ensure that variables meet expected criteria.

An Invalid Authentication Header error occurs when the header used for authentication in a request is incorrect or malformed. Ensure that authentication headers are formatted correctly and contain valid credentials. Validate headers on the server side and provide clear error messages for authentication issues.

A Deprecated API Endpoint error occurs when a request targets an endpoint that is no longer supported. Update your application to use the current API endpoints as specified in the API documentation. Provide a migration guide and handle deprecated endpoints by redirecting or advising users of alternative methods.

A File Not Found error occurs when a requested file is missing from the server. Check file paths, ensure that files are correctly uploaded or available, and verify server configurations. Implement error handling to provide user-friendly messages and possibly suggest alternative actions or resources.

An Invalid JSON Response error occurs when the server returns data that is not properly formatted as JSON. Verify that the server returns well-formed JSON and check for any issues with the response structure. Use JSON validation tools to ensure correctness and handle errors by providing appropriate feedback.

An Invalid Content-Type error occurs when the Content-Type header in a request does not match the expected type, such as sending JSON data with an incorrect Content-Type. Ensure that the Content-Type header is correctly set to match the request payload and validate it on the server side to handle data appropriately.

A Broken Database Connection error occurs when the application fails to connect to the database due to configuration issues, network problems, or incorrect credentials. Check database connection settings, verify network connectivity, and ensure that credentials are correct. Implement retry mechanisms and handle connection errors gracefully.

A Missing Required Parameter error happens when a request does not include a necessary parameter. Check API documentation to confirm required parameters, validate input on the server side, and handle errors by providing clear instructions for including all required parameters in the request.
