With a potential pool of over 50 status codes used to represent the complex relationship between the client, a web application, a web server, and (possibly) multiple third-party web services, determining the cause of a particular status code can be challenging, even under the best of circumstances.
It can be difficult to find the cause of unexpected HTTP response codes and the 408 Request Timeout error code is no exception. However, the 408 Request Timeout error isn’t a message from a gateway or proxy server somewhere in the node chain, but is a direct message from the active server the client has connected to (like a the web server) The 408 Request Timeout error code appears similar to the 504 Gateway Timeout error we explored in a previous article, which indicates that that a server acting as a gateway or proxy timed out.
The 408 Request Timeout is an HTTP response status code indicating that the server did not receive a complete request from the client within the server’s allotted timeout period.
