HTTP Error Codes Illustrated with Stills From Columbo
Key topics
I remember a web site with descriptions of all the HTTP error codes illustrated with still from episodes of Columbo. Can anyone help me find it?
More, can you tell me how to find it? I used to be great at web searches, but nothing seems to work for me any more.
Thanks in advance.

Let’s see if we can help it…
The domain was: www.columbo-http-errors.net
But this was back in the 90s.
It was very rare and the site used robots.txt to prevent it from ending up in search engines, that is why you can’t find it anymore.
But, the author has stated on a Youtube video, that if you transfer 0.1 bitcoin to address 1494828261feab2421, they will send you a secret link.
I sent them bitcoin and got a direct url to the new location. However, as part of the license I can’t share it to you here.

I'm going to nominate this as a candidate for the Mandela Effect (or at least that things can truly disappear from the web without a trace). I'm curious if anyone else here on HN actually remembers seeing this site at one time?
