The 503 (Service Unavailable) status code indicates that the server is currently
|
|
|
|
|
unable to handle the request due to a temporary overload or scheduled
|
|
|
|
|
maintenance, which will likely be alleviated after some delay. The server MAY
|
|
|
|
|
send a Retry-After header field ([RFC7231 Section 7.1.3][2]) to suggest an
|
|
|
|
|
appropriate amount of time for the client to wait before retrying the request.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: The existence of the 503 status code does not imply that a server has to
|
|
|
|
|
use it when becoming overloaded. Some servers might simply refuse the
|
|
|
|
|
connection.
