HTTP Version Not Supported
🔴 Server Error Low Risk

📖 What Is HTTP 505?

The server does not support the HTTP version used in the request. Most servers support HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.

🛡️ Security Implications

Downgrade attacks may force HTTP/1.0 to bypass security features only available in HTTP/1.1+. Enforce minimum HTTP version.

🔍 Common Causes

Client using an outdated or unsupported HTTP version. Misconfigured proxy sending wrong protocol version.

🔧 How to Fix

Update client software. Ensure proxy servers forward the correct HTTP version. Enable HTTP/2 support on the server.
