Let's face it.  Whenever we get an error message on a website which seems like we've reached a blank URL or a dead link, we simply tend to give up too soon.

Earlier today, I encountered an HTTP 403 error message which said that the website I was trying to view, declined to show the page. 

I was just going to click the back button on the browser, when something told me that I should click the 'Refresh' button instead.  Well, I did click the 'Refresh' button...and guess what?  To my surprise, it displayed the entire page perfectly.
Then, I realized that the HTTP 403 message wasn't really showing an expired page / dead link, after all.

Perhaps the server of that website was down - or perhaps the creators of that website themselves, had implemented a kind of double-click feature, which meant that users had to refresh (or reload) that page.

As internet technology becomes more and more sophisticated, just about anything can happen .
