4	426	Upgrade Required	Rails HTTP Status Symbol :upgrade_required

The server refuses to perform the request using the current protocol but might be willing to do so after the client upgrades to a different protocol.

Example:

HTTP/1.1 426 Upgrade Required
Upgrade: HTTP/3.0
Connection: Upgrade
Content-Length: 53
Content-Type: text/plain

This service requires use of the HTTP/3.0 protocol.
