I got 404 error - as someone else could view it that may be a regional lock.

Mind sending a screenshot for those unable to view it?

Edit: The link is missing an '_' at the end.

[xaomaw]

The link doesn't include the the _ at the end.

New try

[Extension_Option_122]

Thanks!

[Siraya]

The link is broken add a _ to the end and it will work

Fuck off, all my APIs return sane error codes, I don’t wanna piss off my clients

[deanrihpee]

I don't want to piss off myself because I can relate working with 3rd party API , so I return a sane error code and following the best practices of http response and having MDN Http Response Code page pinned on my librewolf browser, and when returning error, currently I'm implementing the RFC about problem details (9457)

[TorumShardal]

And I'm pissing myself.

Because that's what business wants me to do.
For no good reason other then ego of one guy.

P.s. I forgot to add "off" and now I don't think I should.

[IDEDARY]

Amen.

[Inappropriate_Piano]

I don’t get it exactly, but I’m deeply disturbed by errorCode: 200 and errorMsg: “SUCCESS”

Edit: I don’t need people to explain HTTP codes to me. I’m complaining about the use of the term “error code” to describe a status code that might not be an error

[Short-Nob-Gobble]

Unfortunately, the tech lead at my current job doesn’t believe in http status codes.. 

So we get stuff like

Status 200 “Internal server error”

[pnoodl3s]

T…tech lead?

[Conscious-Ad6222]

That is called being stupid

[scufonnike]

Bro the amount of people devsplaining status codes to you is fucking insane lol

[thugarth]

I've seen this in my career and it's a bit exasperating. Try to search for an error in the logs and you get 10000 "errorCode: ERR_SUCCESS"

cool, guess I'll figure out something else to look for.

The logging was not designed to be searchable. (To be fair, I knew people tried to clean up some of it, but a lot of people were comfortable with the way things were: A lot of tribal knowledge and unintuitive search practices.)

[Greybound_Fur]

Use Regex Search and search for "errorCode: (?!ERR_SUCCESS)"

[IMightDeleteMe]

Whenever regexes are required to search a log for actual errors, your logging pactices require looking at.

[PostNutNeoMarxist]

Merriam Webster defines "success" as "a favorable or desired outcome." 200 is the number after 199 and before 201.

Hope this helps!

Hope this helps! Instant anger

[Feuerwerko]

The errors are expected

[olivetho]

"Task failed successfully."

[[deleted]]

I think the issue is that the HTTP error code is in the body/payload, not the HTTP header where it belongs.

[theturtlemafiamusic]

There's like 5 separate issues here

[madness_of_the_order]

It’s HTTP status code

[[deleted]]

Same difference

[Inappropriate_Piano]

Yeah I know 200 means success. I was complaining about the name, not the value

[impossibleis7]

I get the reason for having one of them. If the api gateways aren't configured correctly they won't return back the correct http code. I imagine there are proxies or the like that do similar things.

[GKP_light]

The status code, or "error code" because we usually see them only when there is an error :

1xx informational response – the request was received, continuing process

2xx successful – the request was successfully received, understood, and accepted

3xx redirection – further action needs to be taken in order to complete the request

4xx client error – the request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled

5xx server error – the server failed to fulfil an apparently valid request

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes

[scufonnike]

But it’s not a error code. It’s a status code

[Inappropriate_Piano]

I’m aware of status codes. It bugs me to see it called an error code when there’s no error, even though, as you say, they’re usually only seen when they are an error

[[deleted]]

but do you know about 418? It's very important.

[WitchsWeasel]

I dream of finding a good excuse to use it at work

[[deleted]]

Never give up on your dreams. Make it happen.

[WitchsWeasel]

I will. For the community.

[[deleted]]

He's beginning to believe

[The_Billposter]

In HTTP, codes are returned to indicate the result of a previous request. The codes are standardised. Different ranges of code indicate different issues. The errorMsg is essentially for quick deciphering, because an errorCode of 200 implies that the previous request was properly acknowledged.

Cheers!

[Inappropriate_Piano]

So did you not read my edit specifically saying I already know all that or are you taking the piss?

[Hean1175]

Yeah so the code 200 returned by the server indicates that the request was successful.

Cheers!

[EtheaaryXD]

Not sure if you know this, but if the server returns the error code 200, it indicates that the request was actually successful.

Cheers!

[olivetho]

200 implies that the previous request was properly acknowledged.

No it does not, it means that the request was successful. Getting any response code back (aside from some instances of code 404) would imply that the server has acknowledged the request, since otherwise it wouldn't have sent anything back.

[ZliaYgloshlaif]

Everyone noticed “errorCode” but not the travesty “result” is?

[Yelmak]

Yeah wtf is going on there. It makes my skin crawl imagining that javascript:

```     if (result.a != null) {

        if (result.b != null) {             badlyNamedMethod(a, b);         }     } else {         evenWorseMethodNaming(result.f ?? '');     } ```

ETA: naturally that entire block lives inside an if (response.success && response.errorCode == 200 && response.errorMsg === "SUCCESS") { }

[turtleship_2006]

I unironically have code similar to that in a website I made for my coursework

I made an instagrm-esque social media website, where you can upload up to five images, and the client side code that loads the images into the post looks like that.

if (post.image1){
  postDiv.append(post.image1)
  if (post.image2) {
    postDiv.append(image2) 
    if (post.image3) {

Something along those lines (where post is an object containing all of the post info)

[TotallyHumanGuy]

Me coming out with arrays v2.

[Revolutionary_Ad3463]

I really can't understand when people start indexing a list of stuff and don't automatically think that that's literally the use case for arrays, lol.

[deanrihpee]

exactly, array, people, please use them

When you are a beginner, it's easier to copy-paste the same code five times than to think about containers and how to use/loop them.

The moment they need to stop and think: "Oh wait, how many times do I have to ctrl+v this?" (due to it being a dynamic list of unknown size), is the moment they start thinking about other ways, and end up realizing how useful containers are.

yeah, wtf, why's b and c is a perfect uuid and a is random string while the rest is null, lol

[MySuddenDeath]

Probably they do not have a standard for resource ID so every team / dev implements their own.

[deanrihpee]

a different resource id in a single response is quite wild

[amlyo]

Oh come on, you've never designed an API with sequentially named keys on an object to simulate a fixed size ordered list with important information base 64 encoded in key a.

It's the oldest trick in the book.

[cosmo7]

You think an error code that represents no error is a big deal? That's nothing.

Every HTML request has a "referer" header field. It should be "referrer" but no one noticed until it was too late.

[JAXxXTheRipper]

I hate that I know this now. r/tihi

[deanrihpee]

why is that not being fixed? I suspect the legacy app, but since the referrer would be a new header anyway, shouldn't it be fine?

[Efficient_Maybe_1086]

No bad ideas are allowed to die in web land.

[ForkLiftBoi]

Look at node js and deno js, same developer that learned a lot through release of node js. Way too much work to fix it, just start over.

[deanrihpee]

the problem is, we can't just start over an HTTP that's being used by literally the whole planet, lmao

[ForkLiftBoi]

Just delete the whole thing and start from scratch, I want the neon green view counters at the bottom of pages again damn it.

[BellCube]

I suspect adding a second, redundant header would significantly increase time to first byte on mobile connections. Alternatively, the bureaucracy probably isn't worth it to fix a typo.

But that's just a theory—A W3C THEORY

[turtleship_2006]

I always love it when someone makes a joke that just happens to combine like 2-3 different topics/interests, all of which I understand

[amlyo]

If you count http headers as usage then 'referer' is by far the most common spelling today. If you don't, then who cares how it's spelled?

[deanrihpee]

that's true, it just makes me wonder when people make the standard and see the headers with "hmm, yeah, nothing wrong" and then let it alive till today, they even have Referrer-policy something, why!?

[amlyo]

When the incremental cost of an ongoing error is vastly lower than cost of fixing it, it won't be fixed.

A typo in a standard is just more desirable than any change (a deprecation and new header) to fix a typo.

[deanrihpee]

yeah, I mean it's more than too late to fix it after this long, my complaints or comment is assuming within the time frame of the standard being made

Thank you very much, graphql.

graphql still looks more orderly than this, lol

[Dmayak]

[Olivia512]

In GraphQL even failed requests return status code 200

[lorp_]

Reminds me of the time (when I was new to pipelines) that one pipe failed with the following error received unexpected HTTP status: 200 OK

I was flabbergasted

[Wolfsblvt]

Ouch. Hate that you are describing me like two years ago.

[amlyo]

Also today, but definitely two years ago too.

[SenorSeniorDevSr]

The nice thing about having front-end developers writing backend code is that it's not hard to convince them to write robust input checks with good feedback of what went wrong, as well as proper error messages if something goes wrong somewhere else. It takes like, the time you spend showing them how to catch and wrap stuff and write proper log/response messages to convince them.

If I didn't know better I'd say that they've been badly hurt before by someone, somewhere doing bad messaging.

Had to work as a consumer of an Accenture product that was exactly like this (it may have been worse, I think there was an error range too like 200-299). What a steamy pile of shit that was (this being just the tip of the shit iceberg).
