Hi there

I note that the WEB TRANSMIT CODE a%, nnn command does not provide an option for the plain text description nor is there a canned one in the command.

When using WEB TRANSMIT CODE a%, 404 the transmitted header is
HTTP1.0 404 \r\n\r\n

Wireshark captured packet:-
Packet # Time             Source                  Destination          Protocol     Length Info
753         98.010096.  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXX.XXX.XXX.YYY HTTP          54       HTTP/1.0 404

Hypertext Transfer Protocol
   HTTP/1.0 404\r\n
   \r\n
   [HTTP response 1/1]
   [Time since request: 0.240804000 seconds]
   [Request in frame: 694]
   [Request URI: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy/]

This tends to leave the browser blank faced :) (Safari and Chrome)

When using
OPTION TCP SERVER PORT 80

Consider putting the following files on the A: drive to avoid browser associated 404 errors loading the web server.

favicon.ico
apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png
apple-touch-icon.png

These can all be zero sized. It just reduces the server overhead a little bit in my opinion.

Link here for more in depth information on the apple flavour of favicon https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/touch-icons

A more informative File Not Found html response can be compiled and sent with the WEB TRANSMIT PAGE, with a slightly increased server overhead, especially if one is coding using these commands on the WebMite.

Hope this helps.
