Error 404--Not Found

From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

10.4.5 404 Not Found

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.

If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.

Best of the tests

Among more than 200 products tested, 48 finalists, including 10 ultimate winners, rise above.

By Christine Burns, Network World, 02/27/06

If the Network World Lab Alliance - an assemblage of the industry's most experienced network product testers - commissioned an ad campaign, the result might very well mimic Orson Welles' famous voiceover for the Paul Masson winery. "We will recommend no product before its time." Well, it's time. With our seventh annual Best of the Tests presentation, we're ready to recognize the best of the more than 200 products we tested last year across a wide range of technologies. We've selected 48 finalists, from which we've named 10 winners, among nine categories, categorizing products based on the most critical network function they address.

This year's Best of the Tests categories, and the product types within each, are:

Convergence: IP phones, unified messaging wares, voice/video collaboration services, VoIP analysis suites, VoIP services. (Potential ad slogan, compliments of Yellow Pages: "Let your fingers do the walking.")

Information management: Enterprise data search engines, storage gear, storage management software. (Potential ad slogan, compliments of Wendy's: "Where's the beef?")

Messaging: Anti-spam products, e-mail encryption wares, e-mail platforms. (Potential ad slogan, compliments of Hallmark: "When you care enough to send the very best.")

Network infrastructure: Application acceleration devices, content switches, servers, switch/routers. (Potential ad slogan, compliments of Federal Express: "Absolutely, positively overnight.")

Network management: Frameworks, IP address management, server management, Web site usability and management. (Potential ad slogan, compliments of Burger King: "Have it your way.")

Security infrastructure: Firewalls, intrusion-detection systems, security appliances, SSL VPNs. (Potential ad slogan, compliments of Timex: "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.")

Security management: Group policy administration tools, identity management products, network forensics tools, patch management tools, vulnerability alerting services. (Potential ad slogan, compliments of the Bounty brand: "The quicker picker-upper."
