Error Codes
| HTTP Response Status Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 429 | Occurs when the rate limits for an endpoint are reached. If you are on a free plan, consider upgrading. This error may also occur if you have rate limits configured. |
| 561 | Error in parsing response template in the mocking rule. Sometimes, there will be a detailed error message to suggest what went wrong. |
| 562 | Needs authorization. Refer to Beeceptor endpoint's security settings. Triggered when authentication is required for the endpoint and it wasn't passed. Either disable authentication or add the required HTTP header. |
| 571 | Failed to connect to the host (not found). Occurs mostly in HTTP proxy use cases. |
| 572 | SSL or certificate issue while connecting. Occurs mostly in HTTP proxy use cases. |
| 573 | SSL certificate has expired. Disable the SSL verification in the Proxy Setup to force connect (unsafe). Occurs mostly in HTTP proxy use cases. |
| 574 | SSL or certificate issue while connecting. Occurs mostly in HTTP proxy use cases. |
| 575 | Failed to connect to the host (timeout). This error means the connection attempt timed out. The server took too long to respond, possibly due to network issues. |
| 576 | Failed to connect to the host (refused). This error means the connection was refused. The server rejected the connection attempt, likely because it's not accepting connections on the specified port. |
| 577 | Failed to connect host/DNS (not-found). This indicates a DNS lookup timed out error, which means it is a network connectivity issue or a proxy-related error. Mostly, the DNS lookup failed. |
| 578 | Invalid URL protocol. Use a valid one: http:// or https://. Ensure that the URL you are using specifies a supported protocol. Beeceptor supports http and https. |
| 580 | Client disconnected (socket hang up). |
| 581 | Error in retrieving the blob/file configured in the mock rule, preventing the generation of the mock response. |
| 599 | Something is terribly wrong. This is a fallback for all errors not described above. You should open a support ticket to know more. |
