HTTP Status Code 408 means Request Timeout. This status is returned when the server did not receive a complete request from the client within the time it was prepared to wait. It indicates that the client’s connection to the server was lost or that the server waited too long for the client to send the request. This could occur due to slow network conditions or an unresponsive client. In essence, the server is signaling that it has timed out waiting for the client to send the necessary data to complete the request.
