408

Request Timeout

The client did not furnish a request within a specified duration of time that the server was prepared to wait, so the server responds with a request timeout error, 408 code. The client may repeat the request without modification later.

Use Case

A user is browsing a webpage and hovers over a link, the webpage makes a connection with the server before the user clicks the link for faster load times, but the user stays idle for 2 seconds. Here the server sends a 408, as a request was not furnished within the time limit.
