@fooflington@infosec.exchange @tdp_org@mastodon.social On a technical level, yes. On a "try booking your ticket again tomorrow" level, the advice is correct. And even sending the exact same request may work if the server is misconfigured.
The user is not a client, the user is using a website, which has server and client components. A 4xx is usually a client issue but the client is still part of the website.

@noratrieb@hachyderm.io while most of what you have said is true, if the messaging is to remain, it needs some nuance adding about what the cause of the error actually is as it's currently factually wrong. I disagree that the client (the User Agent, in this case the browser) is "part of the website".
