401 Error
We sometimes get the message while surfing internet that “401 Authorization Required”, which is also defined as HTTP Error 401.
Now before going to the Problems & Solutions part let’s take a look upon it. HTTP means Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, which is an application protocol for collaborative, distributed and hypermedia information system. In short it generally runs the internet in a well manner. HTTP has different source code.
Now coming back to our topic, if we see “401 Authorization Required” message in our web browser that means we first have to login i.e. have to give user ID and password to access the specific web page. If we already gave the credentials and still after that it shows the message, it means we have given wrong credentials.
Sometimes it can happen like this also: we gave the credentials in our office computer and it showed the web page, but when we tried it with exact same credentials in some other place it showed the message “401 Authorization Required”. It happened because that specific web page can only be seen on some particular computers. Your current computer’s address is not authorised to see the web page.
