Summary (TL;DR)
The HTTP 410 Gone status code indicates a requested resource is permanently unavailable and will not return. It differs from 404 because the server knows the resource existed but was removed. An example shows a promotion page returning 410 with a link to current offers. The specification is in HTTP Semantics under status.410. Related status codes include 404. This helps avoid broken links and lets clients update or remove references.
