Status Codes

In order to give you the best possible insight into what exactly is wrong with your deployment, we implemented several status codes into the Routing Layer of Now.

Response Types

By default, browsers (and any other client that sets the Accept header to a value containing text/html) will receive the status codes as the following HTML template:

An example of how a status code response could look like

Depending on your status code, the title ("404"), description ("The page could not be found") and the code ("FILE_NOT_FOUND") will vary.

However, if your client is sending the Accept header with a value that contains application/json, it will receive the same error, but formatted as JSON:

{
  "status": "FILE_NOT_FOUND",
  "description": "The page could not be found"
}

Assuming that your client is not sending the Accept header at all, we will default to sending the description of the status code in the text/plain format (plain text):

The page could not be found
