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.

Entrust snaps up Business Signatures
Entrust today announced it closed a deal last night to buy Redwood City, Calif.-based Business Signatures for $50 million.
The acquisition of Business Signatures heightens the competition with RSA Security, which acquired Cyota late last year. Cyota and Business Signatures both offer fraud-detection software and services primarily used by banks in their online operations to flag suspicious activity.
Like RSA Security, Entrust is a firm with long-time involvement in public-key infrastructure encryption. Entrust also offers an authentication platform, IdentityGuard. However, Entrust has trailed RSA economically, struggling with keeping a healthy balance sheet.
The Entrust acquisition garnered support from one Business Signatures customer, H&R Block. Marc West, chief information officer and senior vice president at H&R Block, said he felt the combination of the two firms will lead to "more security options" that will work well with the H&R Block applications.
