HTTP status codes - EMACS at CO

Question

A 2016 proposal by Tim Bray to create a new one of these objects ends with the acknowledgement, “Thanks also to Ray Bradbury.” That proposed object is named “Unavailable For Legal Reasons”. (15[2])Rarely-used examples (15[1])of these objects are named “Early Hints”, “Variant Also Negotiates” and “Non-Authoritative Information”. An unofficial one of these objects used by Twitter’s API is named for a quote from Demolition Man, “Enhance your calm”. A Google easter egg produces one of these objects (-5[1])with the note, “The requested entity body is short and stout”, in reference to a joke (*) “Coffee Pot Control Protocol” that introduced one of these things called “I’m a teapot”. The 300 series of these things indicate a redirection, while the 200 series indicates success. For 10 points, identify these three-digit identifiers that include “502 Bad Gateway” and “404 Not Found”. ■END■ (0[1])

ANSWER: HTTP status codes [accept HTTP error codes; accept HTTP codes; prompt on “HTTP responses” with “what part of the response?”; prompt on “status codes” or “error codes” with “under what protocol?”; anti-prompt on specific codes like “404 Not Found” with “can you be less specific?”]
