      Just started seeing 406 errors on our last crawl (all jpg related). Seomoz found 670 of these on my site when there were 0 before.

      I have checked the MIME and everything seems to be in the right order. So could it be that Seomoz-crawler is showing errors that aren't really errors?

        We just started noticing the 406 errors on this last crawl as well; ours occur on our PDF docs and RSS, but like your case, everything looks in order.

          I believe the cause is on our end. We made Roger more picky about this type of thing, but are telling him to loosen up today and he should stop bugging you about it as much on the next crawl.

            I figured as much Keri; thank you for the reply and confirmation.

            Thanks,

              Same here don't worry about it... Got around 120 of these errors last week, and they are now gone. Kind of frustrating trying to see those errors and warning down to 0! 🙂

                Yeah, got 5,000 or so. Glad to see this thread because I had a mini heart attack there. The only other time I'd seen 406 come up was related to a phishing/ad/virus filtering so I thought maybe we had an ad-spewing virus or something.
