Description

This session will discuss ongoing efforts to improve the clarity and consistency of WebDAV error reporting in XRootD. The initiative focuses on standardising and defining numeric codes within HTTP error messages, as recommended by WLCG, so that clients can better interpret and act on them, especially given the limited range of HTTP status codes. The talk will present examples of current inconsistencies, outline proposed mappings and validation strategies, and invite discussion on adoption, testing, and integration with existing monitoring tools.
