IsItUp: Should this work for 504 cases? #3404

Closed sahiljuneja closed 5 years ago

sahiljuneja commented 7 years ago

Quora was opening up but threw the following on the website -

504. Gateway Timeout.

Quora is temporarily unavailable.

Please wait a few minutes and try again.

But when searching if the website is down on DDG, it said it was up. I have no knowledge about how exactly this works, honestly. But is this discrepancy because the website technically opens but throws a Gateway Error on the website itself?

I personally think, that since the server returning the HTTP status is most likely acting as a load balancer and is telling you that the website is unavailable that the DDG Instant Answer should return down.

I'm wondering what other information the API returns, if it returns something which helps to identify that the site is up but not functional we can use that. I'll check what is returned.
