HTTP error codes illustrated with stills from Columbo

9 points by ColinWright 8mo ago ↗ HN

With the current degraded state of internet search capabilities I'm having trouble finding this. Or maybe I just have a search-fu failure.

I remember a web site with descriptions of all the HTTP error codes illustrated with still from episodes of Columbo. Can anyone help me find it?

More, can you tell me how to find it? I used to be great at web searches, but nothing seems to work for me any more.

Thanks in advance.

I also tried some searches and couldn't find anything except references to this very Hacker News question.

I'm going to nominate this as a candidate for the Mandela Effect (or at least that things can truly disappear from the web without a trace). I'm curious if anyone else here on HN actually remembers seeing this site at one time?

If you ask this question from ChatGPT, it comes back to this page.

Let’s see if we can help it…

I haven't seen the site you are talking about, but I use http.cat. It illustrates HTTP status codes as cat pictures.
