HTTP 404 Not Found Error - Meaning & Fix
The HTTP 404 Not Found status code means the server can't locate the requested resource. This often occurs when the link is broken or has expired, commonly referred to as link rot. The code does not specify whether the missing resource is temporarily or permanently unavailable.
Main causes
Incorrect URL entered by the user.
The page has been deleted or moved without redirecting the old URL to a new one.
The server is unable to communicate with the requested resource due to a configuration error.
Domain name cannot be resolved to the correct IP address due to DNS issues.
# Request example curl -X POST https://sandbox.oxylabs.io/ -H 'Accept: application/xml;q=0.9' -H 'Accept-Encoding: br' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0'
