dlvr.it encounters many error messages and all of them have a specific meaning as to what can be done to fix them.The following are the most common error message examples and you will find more obscure error messages further down the document.
- 403:Forbidden -- This is an HTTP status code that means that we were unable to access the page by requesting it through dlvr.it servers. Sometimes, you will be able to access the Feed outside of dlvr.it on a regular webpage. This means that dlvr.it servers have been blacklisted. If that is the case, and this is a privately held Feed, you can whitelist dlvr.it through our User-Agent "dlvr.it/1.0 (+http://dlvr.it/)".
- 404:Not Found -- This is an HTTP status code that simply means that the Feed doesn't exist, or the webpage doesn't exist, or is currently unavailable on the web.
- Feed exceeds 512KB/1024KB Feed size limit: This error means that the uncompressed file size of your Feed is more than your plan currently allows. Our Pro plan users are provided a Feed size limit of 1024 KB, while our Basic plan users are provided a 512 KB limit. You can check the current size of your Feed by using a service like http://web-sniffer.net/.
- Request timed out/408: This means that dlvr.it was making a request from our servers, and it took an excessive amount of time for your Feed to respond. Sometimes, this can be due to blacklisting. See Error 404 for the User-Agent to whitelist.
- 401:Unauthorized -- This error indicates that you do not have valid credentials to access the Feed that you are trying to use.
- 419 421, 508, 509:Unused -- This means that there has been an internal server error and your request couldn't be completed.
