Content element to contain the following text:
The requested resource is temporarily unavailable due to high demand on the server An optional custom message can be included here. Please try this address again at a later date**. Further assistance Please contact us if you require further assistance with your request. |
*Optionally, in the case of server overload, this message can be sent without CUE branding or not at all (i.e.: The 503 status may be sent with an empty document body, or no response may be sent). A defensive position against Denial Of Service attacks might be to not respond to incoming HTTP requests for a period
**Optionally this text can be replaced with a specific date and/or time (specifying AEST) that it is expected the resource will become available again (in which case a Retry-After header should also be used).
