Title: HTTP status codes illustrated with cycle facilities
Post by: Kim on 28 March, 2016, 12:59:18 am: This occurred to me earlier, inspired by jo's percentage road sign stickerbook (https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=51483.msg2000078#msg2000078), the excellent HTTP Status Cats (https://www.flickr.com/photos/girliemac/sets/72157628409467125/), and the DFT's Draft cycling and walking investment strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/draft-cycling-and-walking-investment-strategy). I reckon that the combined efforts of YACF should be able to illustrate this complex technical subject through situations that any cyclist can understand.

For the benefit of non-geeks: HTTP status codes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol#Status_codes) are short numerical codes used by web servers to communicate the result of a given request to a browser. We're probably all familiar with '404' for "not found", but there are actually dozens of them (some more obscure than others). There's a list of them - with descriptions of what they're used for - here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes).

So, what have you got? I'll start us off in a second...

(In fact, this is probably the single thing that first put me off Sustrans routes, even before I started smashing up limbs and bike parts on them).

[Good work Kim. ]

Not all of them. In Austria we once followed one alongside a railway line. At one point the path did a hard right-angled zig-zag leading into an 18% slope. The imprecations of the heavily-loaded touring cyclists we overtook halfway up were quite entertaining.
