What is HTTP 421 Misdirected Request?

The 421 (Misdirected Request) status code indicates that the request was directed at a server that is not able to produce a response. This can occur when a connection is reused for a different origin in HTTP/2 or when a server receives a request for a virtual host it does not serve.

Common Use Cases

  • HTTP/2 connection reuse for different origins
  • Load balancer routing errors
  • Misconfigured virtual hosts
