List of known status codes used by WTVP, and their corresponding reason phrases and meanings.
| Status Code | Meaning | Reason phrases | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | Success | "OK" | |
| 302 | Temporary redirect | "Moved temporarily" | |
| 400 | Bad request | "Please choose your name to start using the MSN TV service.", "Your password must be composed of letters and numbers only. Please choose a different password." (Related to Passport registration), "The password you typed isn't correct. Please type your password." | Has a "wtv-field-name" header. Values currently observed are "user-id" and "password". |
| 500 | Internal server error | "WebTV ran into a technical problem. Please try again." (pre-MSN TV rebrand), "MSN TV ran into a technical problem. Please try again." (MSN TV rebrand), "Incorrect password." | "Incorrect password." is believed to be used when accessing service URL "wtv-head-waiter:/tricks-passwd", although this is only confirmed to be the case on a third-party private server. The other first two are speculated to appear when a service URL is either accessed in an unintended manner, or doesn't exist. It's speculated that you'll also get this error when using an invalid wtv-token suffix on service URLs that need it. Need more documentation on this. |
| 1404 | Unknown domain(?) | "The publisher <domain> is unknown." | Usually has a "wtv-explanation-url" header linking to a help page to explain the error in question. So far only seen in use in HTTP content proxy errors. |
