HTTP status message guidelines
The HTTP status message guidelines provides templates and advice to guide best practice implementation of common resource management scenarios for Queensland Government websites and web applications.
Implementing these guidelines will result in:
- reduced incidence of broken links for organisations linking to Queensland Government websites (and reduced urgency of maintenance for updating links to moved resources for those organisations)
- persistence of search engine ranking (even when resources are moved)
- increased confidence in directly linking to Queensland Government web resources (otherwise known as deep linking)
- a more consistent, quality user experience for users entering Queensland Government websites other than from the homepage (for example: via bookmarks, search engine results pages or emailed links).
