### Codes & Exit Statuses

Mouse-over the icons for details of HTTP codes, curl exit statuses, and the number of attempts made on each site.

- codes [are from HTTP and are documented elsewhere](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes); RWOS-internal ones include:
  - `901`, `902`, `903` - malformed HTTP response
  - `904` - HTTP status code parse error
  - `910` - connection timeout
- exits [are from Curl and are documented elsewhere](https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html); common ones include:
  - `7` - "curl couldn't connect"
  - `52` - "curl got nothing", received no data from upstream
