The 404 or Not Found error message is an HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with a given server, but the server could not find what was requested.
The web site hosting server will typically generate a "404 Not Found" web page when a user attempts to follow a broken or dead link; hence the 404 error is one of the most recognizable errors encountered on the World Wide Web.
When communicating via HTTP, a server is required to respond to a request, such as a web browser request for a web page, with a numeric response code and an optional, mandatory, or disallowed (based upon the status code) message. In the code 404, the first digit indicates a client error, such as a mistyped Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The following two digits indicate the specific error encountered. HTTP's use of three-digit codes is similar to the use of such codes in earlier protocols such as FTP and NNTP.
At the HTTP level, a 404 response code is followed by a human-readable "reason phrase". The HTTP specification suggests the phrase "Not Found" and many web servers by default issue an HTML page that includes both the 404 code and the "Not Found" phrase.
One day when I came home at lunchtime
I heard a funny noise
Went out to the back yard to find out if it was
One of those rent boys
Stood there was my neighbour called Peter
And a Flux Capacitor
He told me he built a time machine
Like the one in the film I've seen
Yeah yeah... he said...
I've been to the Year 3000,
Not much has changed but they lived under water,
And your great, great, great grand daughter,
Is pretty fine (is pretty fine)
He took me to the future in the flux thing and I saw everything,
Boybands and another one and another one ... and another one!
Triple breasted women swim around town... totally naked!
We drove around in a time machine,
Like the one in the film I've seen..
Yeah yeah ... he said...
I've been to the Year 3000,
Not much has changed but they lived under water,
And your great, great, great grand daughter,
Is pretty fine (is pretty fine)
I took a trip to the Year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody brought our 7th album
It had outsold Michael Jackson
