Joe will pay $0.00 to the first person to successfully answer the question:

Can anyone help explain what the first set of numbers in WEBrick "Get" calls refers to?

For example what is the 500 in the following: "Get /admin HTTP/1.1" 500 10767

Compared to the 200 in the following: "Get /admin HTTP/1.1" 200 485

The only code I have running is the scaffold code that rails creates.

I'm guessing that WEBrick is referring to 2 different locations possibly from multiple installs.

Thanks for any input,

Joe Noobie

Those are HTTP status headers, sent by the server to the browser, letting the browser know what happened in the request.

2xx is generally success

3xx is generally provisional success

4xx is generally inaccessible

5xx is generally server failure

Sorry, status codes, that are sent in the response header.

"You cross posted!" Just like George Costanza saying, "You double dipped!"

Saw this on the Rails mailing list too.
