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<sup>[1](#ref-1)</sup> 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.
