A 598 Network Read Timeout Error is an informal status code used by some network proxies and Microsoft caching gateways.
It indicates that the proxy server encountered a read timeout while waiting for a response from the destination web server behind the gateway.
Determining why
The proxy established a network connection, but when reading data packets from the destination server, the data transfer stalled and exceeded the proxy’s read timeout limit.
Steps you could possibly take:
- Reload the page - Re-request the page to see if network congestion cleared.
- Bypass local proxy - If using an enterprise or school proxy, test from an unproxied connection or cellular data.
- If you are the network administrator - Inspect proxy gateway logs and verify network latency to the target server.
