I had somehow not heard of this HTTP status code until now; it was adopted in 2016, and it's recommended as a more specific substitute for 403 Forbidden or 404 Not Found. Nice.

Eugene Volokh is the Gary T. Schwartz Distinguished Professor of Law at UCLA and a Visiting Fellow (Senior Fellow starting May 2024) at the Hoover Institution (Stanford). Naturally, his posts here (like the opinions of the other bloggers) are his own, and not endorsed by any educational institution.
