"507 Mechanical Movements"

If it wasn't for the 1800s date after this title, I would have thought it to be a proposal for an additional HTTP status code.

I still search the web by curiosity, turns out 507 already exists for WebDAV, and it means "Insufficient storage".



507: Insufficient storage, mechanical movement of disk required


Sounds like a great catch-all euphemism for human error. AKA the computer received faulty input from the keyboard/mouse movement.


'Layer 8 error' is a good one for that, based off the OSI 7-layer network model.


The date just made me think it would be about watch/clock movements... which is a somewhat closer guess.
