HTTP状态码 451 提案: Unavailable for Legal Reasons

Google 的 Tim Bray 起草了一个新的HTTP状态451 提案

This document specifies an additional Hypertext Transfer Protocol
   (HTTP) status code for use when resource access is denied for legal
   reasons.  This allows server operators to operate with greater
   transparency in circumstances where issues of law or public policy
   affect their operation.  This transparency may be beneficial both to
   these operators and to end users.

翻译过来是说:

本文档定义了一个新的的超文本传输协议(HTTP)状态码用于当资源存取被法律原因禁止时。这允许服务器操作员在因法律或公共政策影响运行时可以更为透明的操作。这种透明度可能对操作员和最终用户都有利。

当然作为天朝人,大家想到的都是如此岂非是用来调戏GFW的嘛。不过事实上的场景应该是因为DCMA或者法律诉讼而导致资源不可用的时候。因为天朝的审查制度从来都不存在这实际上是“践踏法律”,当然也就无从返回明确的法律条文。
