4xx Client Error
RFC 7231, Section 6.5.7
What is HTTP 408 Request Timeout?
The 408 (Request Timeout) status code indicates that the server did not receive a complete request message within the time it was prepared to wait. This typically occurs when the client takes too long to send the request body or when an idle connection is terminated by the server.
Common Use Cases
- Slow client connections
- Long-running file uploads that exceed timeout
- Idle connection timeout in APIs
