400 – Bad request while browsing

Hello,

Any web browser goes through the following life cycle:

• First,  obtain an IP address from the IP name of the site ('http://'). This conversion of IP name to IP address is provided by DNS.
• Then open an IP socket connection to that IP address.
• After that write an HTTP data stream through that socket.
• Finally, it receives an HTTP data stream back from the Web server in response. This data stream contains the status codes whose values are determined by HTTP protocol. Parse this data stream for status codes and for other useful information.

This error occurs when the client received an HTTP status code it recognizes as’400’ in the final step above.

Thanks.

Steve

Mr. Jubang,

There are multiple reasons that you are getting this error.

1. Your system is not well secured.

2. Your internet connection is not pretty good to response URL requests.

3. If it happens with few particular websites, then it could be problem at other end and they need to fix it.

4. Try using different browser, hope it will help.

5. Clear your browser history, cache and temporary files. May be browser cache is overloaded

6. DNS hosted at your service provider is not responding properly.

Hopefully performing all or few of these checks will fix the problem man :).

Wish you all the best in this regard.
