System errors are application and server errors which occur from a failure of communication between the client application and its server.

Types 

There are many different types of system errors that can occur during the hosting and operation of modern web applications. These take the form of the list of HTTP status codes attached to every client\server request.

Types 

<< Relevant only if the component has several distinct types (e.g. editable tables, nested tables). In this case, each type should be described in a sub-page. The main page should be used only for the common grounds of the component>>With LUX, we have created specific designs and illustrations for the 5 most common types of these system errors (including one for a ‘catch all’ situation).

Type	Usage	ImageIllustration	‘Regular’ HTTP request flow	AJAX request flow with target container area	AJAX request flow without target container area
401 Unauthorized - Bad, missing, or expired token		N/A	Redirect to login page. Once login is completed, redirect back to originating page	Redirect to login page.
