The 101 error code is a server-side error that indicates that the server is unable to process the request. This can happen for a number of reasons, including but not limited to: the request is malformed, the request is missing required information, or the server is unable to handle the request. If you receive this error code, it is recommended that you contact the server administrator to resolve the issue.
