From rfc 2068 hypertext transfer protocol http 1.1 lỗi năm 2024

Question

After renewing the certificate of F5 URL,we are getting the following error message and URL is not working after certificate renewal.

Note: Server SSL is not applied on VIP.

Error 404--Not Found From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1: 10.4.5 404 Not Found

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.

If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.

Hi mkumar1113,

Please check if you are requesting the correct information from the server. Had you checked the same URI before renewing the certificate? And did that worked?

404 error is because you are requesting some content which the server is not aware of.

I would suggest checking with the team hosting the application to provide the correct URI or have them only verify the site.

    Status of this Memo
    This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, object-oriented protocol which can be used for many tasks, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods. A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data being transferred. HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information initiative since 1990. This specification defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1".

RFC 2068 HTTP/1.1 January 1997 [1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

section-1) Introduction

[1.1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

section-1.1) Purpose

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information initiative since 1990. The first version of HTTP, referred to as HTTP/0.9, was a simple protocol for raw data transfer across the Internet. HTTP/1.0, as defined by RFC 1945 [[6](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

ref-6)], improved

the protocol by allowing messages to be in the format of MIME-like messages, containing metainformation about the data transferred and modifiers on the request/response semantics. However, HTTP/1.0 does not sufficiently take into consideration the effects of hierarchical proxies, caching, the need for persistent connections, and virtual hosts. In addition, the proliferation of incompletely-implemented applications calling themselves "HTTP/1.0" has necessitated a protocol version change in order for two communicating applications to determine each other's true capabilities. This specification defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1". This protocol includes more stringent requirements than HTTP/1.0 in order to ensure reliable implementation of its features. Practical information systems require more functionality than simple retrieval, including search, front-end update, and annotation. HTTP allows an open-ended set of methods that indicate the purpose of a request. It builds on the discipline of reference provided by the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) [[3](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

ref-3)][20], as a location (URL) [[4](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

ref-4)] or

name (URN) , for indicating the resource to which a method is to be applied. Messages are passed in a format similar to that used by Internet mail as defined by the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME). HTTP is also used as a generic protocol for communication between user agents and proxies/gateways to other Internet systems, including those supported by the SMTP [[16](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

ref-16)], NNTP [[13](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

ref-13)], FTP [[18](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

ref-18)], Gopher [[2](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

ref-2)],

and WAIS [[10](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

ref-10)] protocols. In this way, HTTP allows basic hypermedia

access to resources available from diverse applications. [1.2](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

section-1.2) Requirements

This specification uses the same words as RFC 1123 [[8](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

ref-8)] for defining

the significance of each particular requirement. These words are: MUST

  This word or the adjective "required" means that the item is an
  absolute requirement of the specification.

Fielding, et. al. Standards Track [Page 7]

RFC 2068 HTTP/1.1 January 1997 SHOULD

  This word or the adjective "recommended" means that there may
  exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore this
  item, but the full implications should be understood and the case
  carefully weighed before choosing a different course.

MAY

  This word or the adjective "optional" means that this item is
  truly optional. One vendor may choose to include the item because
  a particular marketplace requires it or because it enhances the
  product, for example; another vendor may omit the same item.

An implementation is not compliant if it fails to satisfy one or more of the MUST requirements for the protocols it implements. An implementation that satisfies all the MUST and all the SHOULD requirements for its protocols is said to be "unconditionally compliant"; one that satisfies all the MUST requirements but not all the SHOULD requirements for its protocols is said to be "conditionally compliant." [1.3](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

section-1.3) Terminology

This specification uses a number of terms to refer to the roles played by participants in, and objects of, the HTTP communication. connection

  A transport layer virtual circuit established between two programs
  for the purpose of communication.

message

  The basic unit of HTTP communication, consisting of a structured
  sequence of octets matching the syntax defined in [section 4](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

# section-4) and

  transmitted via the connection.

request

  An HTTP request message, as defined in [section 5](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

# section-5). response

  An HTTP response message, as defined in [section 6](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

# section-6). resource

  A network data object or service that can be identified by a URI,
  as defined in [section 3.2](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

# section-3.2). Resources may be available in multiple

  representations (e.g. multiple languages, data formats, size,
  resolutions) or vary in other ways.

Fielding, et. al. Standards Track [Page 8]

RFC 2068 HTTP/1.1 January 1997 entity

  The information transferred as the payload of a request or
  response. An entity consists of metainformation in the form of
  entity-header fields and content in the form of an entity-body, as
  described in [section 7](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

# section-7). representation

  An entity included with a response that is subject to content
  negotiation, as described in [section 12](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

# section-12). There may exist multiple

  representations associated with a particular response status.

content negotiation

  The mechanism for selecting the appropriate representation when
  servicing a request, as described in [section 12](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

# section-12). The

  representation of entities in any response can be negotiated
  (including error responses).

variant

  A resource may have one, or more than one, representation(s)
  associated with it at any given instant. Each of these
  representations is termed a `variant.' Use of the term `variant'
  does not necessarily imply that the resource is subject to content
  negotiation.

client

  A program that establishes connections for the purpose of sending
  requests.

user agent

  The client which initiates a request. These are often browsers,
  editors, spiders (web-traversing robots), or other end user tools.

server

  An application program that accepts connections in order to
  service requests by sending back responses. Any given program may
  be capable of being both a client and a server; our use of these
  terms refers only to the role being performed by the program for a
  particular connection, rather than to the program's capabilities
  in general.  Likewise, any server may act as an origin server,
  proxy, gateway, or tunnel, switching behavior based on the nature
  of each request.

origin server

  The server on which a given resource resides or is to be created.

Fielding, et. al. Standards Track [Page 9]

RFC 2068 HTTP/1.1 January 1997 proxy

  An intermediary program which acts as both a server and a client
  for the purpose of making requests on behalf of other clients.
  Requests are serviced internally or by passing them on, with
  possible translation, to other servers. A proxy must implement
  both the client and server requirements of this specification.

gateway

  A server which acts as an intermediary for some other server.
  Unlike a proxy, a gateway receives requests as if it were the
  origin server for the requested resource; the requesting client
  may not be aware that it is communicating with a gateway.

tunnel

  An intermediary program which is acting as a blind relay between
  two connections. Once active, a tunnel is not considered a party
  to the HTTP communication, though the tunnel may have been
  initiated by an HTTP request. The tunnel ceases to exist when both
  ends of the relayed connections are closed.

cache

  A program's local store of response messages and the subsystem
  that controls its message storage, retrieval, and deletion. A
  cache stores cachable responses in order to reduce the response
  time and network bandwidth consumption on future, equivalent
  requests. Any client or server may include a cache, though a cache
  cannot be used by a server that is acting as a tunnel.

cachable

  A response is cachable if a cache is allowed to store a copy of
  the response message for use in answering subsequent requests. The
  rules for determining the cachability of HTTP responses are
  defined in [section 13](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

# section-13). Even if a resource is cachable, there may

  be additional constraints on whether a cache can use the cached
  copy for a particular request.

first-hand

  A response is first-hand if it comes directly and without
  unnecessary delay from the origin server, perhaps via one or more
  proxies. A response is also first-hand if its validity has just
  been checked directly with the origin server.

explicit expiration time

  The time at which the origin server intends that an entity should
  no longer be returned by a cache without further validation.

RFC 2068 HTTP/1.1 January 1997 [1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

section-1) Introduction

[1.1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

section-1.1) Purpose

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information initiative since 1990. The first version of HTTP, referred to as HTTP/0.9, was a simple protocol for raw data transfer across the Internet. HTTP/1.0, as defined by RFC 1945 [[6](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

ref-6)], improved

the protocol by allowing messages to be in the format of MIME-like messages, containing metainformation about the data transferred and modifiers on the request/response semantics. However, HTTP/1.0 does not sufficiently take into consideration the effects of hierarchical proxies, caching, the need for persistent connections, and virtual hosts. In addition, the proliferation of incompletely-implemented applications calling themselves "HTTP/1.0" has necessitated a protocol version change in order for two communicating applications to determine each other's true capabilities. This specification defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1". This protocol includes more stringent requirements than HTTP/1.0 in order to ensure reliable implementation of its features.

RFC 2068 HTTP/1.1 January 1997 [1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

section-1) Introduction

[1.1](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

section-1.1) Purpose

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information initiative since 1990. The first version of HTTP, referred to as HTTP/0.9, was a simple protocol for raw data transfer across the Internet. HTTP/1.0, as defined by RFC 1945 [[6](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

ref-6)], improved

the protocol by allowing messages to be in the format of MIME-like messages, containing metainformation about the data transferred and modifiers on the request/response semantics. However, HTTP/1.0 does not sufficiently take into consideration the effects of hierarchical proxies, caching, the need for persistent connections, and virtual hosts. In addition, the proliferation of incompletely-implemented applications calling themselves "HTTP/1.0" has necessitated a protocol version change in order for two communicating applications to determine each other's true capabilities. This specification defines the protocol referred to as "HTTP/1.1". This protocol includes more stringent requirements than HTTP/1.0 in order to ensure reliable implementation of its features. Practical information systems require more functionality than simple retrieval, including search, front-end update, and annotation.

  Unlike a proxy, a gateway receives requests as if it were the
  origin server for the requested resource; the requesting client
  may not be aware that it is communicating with a gateway.

tunnel

  An intermediary program which is acting as a blind relay between

  to the HTTP communication, though the tunnel may have been
  initiated by an HTTP request. The tunnel ceases to exist when both
  ends of the relayed connections are closed.

cache

  A program's local store of response messages and the subsystem

  cannot be used by a server that is acting as a tunnel.

cachable

  A response is cachable if a cache is allowed to store a copy of
  the response message for use in answering subsequent requests. The
  rules for determining the cachability of HTTP responses are
  defined in [section 13](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

  be additional constraints on whether a cache can use the cached
  copy for a particular request.

first-hand

  A response is first-hand if it comes directly and without
  unnecessary delay from the origin server, perhaps via one or more
  proxies. A response is also first-hand if its validity has just
  been checked directly with the origin server.

explicit expiration time

  The time at which the origin server intends that an entity should
  no longer be returned by a cache without further validation.

  The time at which the origin server intends that an entity should
  no longer be returned by a cache without further validation.

RFC 2068 HTTP/1.1 January 1997 proxy

  An intermediary program which acts as both a server and a client
  for the purpose of making requests on behalf of other clients.
  Requests are serviced internally or by passing them on, with
  possible translation, to other servers. A proxy must implement
  both the client and server requirements of this specification.

gateway

  A server which acts as an intermediary for some other server.
  Unlike a proxy, a gateway receives requests as if it were the
  origin server for the requested resource; the requesting client
  may not be aware that it is communicating with a gateway.

tunnel

  An intermediary program which is acting as a blind relay between
  two connections. Once active, a tunnel is not considered a party
  to the HTTP communication, though the tunnel may have been
  initiated by an HTTP request. The tunnel ceases to exist when both
  ends of the relayed connections are closed.

cache

  A program's local store of response messages and the subsystem
  that controls its message storage, retrieval, and deletion. A
  cache stores cachable responses in order to reduce the response
  time and network bandwidth consumption on future, equivalent
  requests. Any client or server may include a cache, though a cache
  cannot be used by a server that is acting as a tunnel.

cachable

  A response is cachable if a cache is allowed to store a copy of
  the response message for use in answering subsequent requests. The
  rules for determining the cachability of HTTP responses are
  defined in [section 13](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2068

# section-13). Even if a resource is cachable, there may

  be additional constraints on whether a cache can use the cached
  copy for a particular request.

first-hand

  A response is first-hand if it comes directly and without
  unnecessary delay from the origin server, perhaps via one or more
  proxies. A response is also first-hand if its validity has just
  been checked directly with the origin server.

explicit expiration time

  The time at which the origin server intends that an entity should
  no longer be returned by a cache without further validation.
