HTTP/1.1 408 Request Timeout

The server timed out waiting for the request to complete.

status-summary.log
HTTP 408 Request Timeout

The connection was established, but the client did not send the full request in time or the request stalled before completion.

Look at latency, packet loss, and client upload behavior before tuning server timeouts.

likely-causes.lst
  • $Slow or unstable client network connection.
  • $Large upload or request body exceeded timeout thresholds.
  • $Load balancer or proxy timeout configured too aggressively.
  • $Intermittent packet loss causing repeated retransmissions.
recovery-steps.md
  1. Retry the request on a stable connection.
  2. Reduce payload size or split large uploads.
  3. Review load balancer, proxy, and origin timeout settings.
  4. Check network telemetry for loss, latency, and retransmits.

Use these pages for debugging and user guidance. In production, configure your host or reverse proxy to return the matching HTTP status code for the route (especially for 408 and 404/500 responses) rather than serving a 200 with error-themed content.
