I visualize packets going back and forth, HTTP response codes, and such.

Just glad if I can reduce the level of mystery a bit.

I guess the keyword is that success is evident, whereas goofs are puzzling (because they’re hard to figure out and hard to explain) which is why we get 404’s and 503’s.

And networks are flakey. People used to tell me “The network’s down. Do something!”

So I made some quick checks that our stuff was working OK, and waited out the glitch.
