HTTP Status Code 502
A 502 Bad Gateway error message means there's a communication issue between servers. It happens when a server acting as an intermediary, like a proxy server, gets an invalid response from another server it needs to reach to fulfill your request.
Here's a breakdown of the situation:
- You try to visit a website.
- Your browser contacts a server (often a proxy server) to get the website's content.
- That server then talks to another server (the origin server) that actually holds the website's files.
- If the intermediary server gets a garbled or nonsensical response from the origin server, it throws a 502 error.
In short, the 502 code indicates a problem on the website's end, not on your device.
