Status: Rejected
Type: Editorial

Reported by: Philippe Cloutier <chealer@gmail.com>
Date Reported: 2023-05-29
Rejected by: RFC Editor  

Section: 15.5.2.

Original Text
-------------
The 401 (Unauthorized) status code indicates that the request has not
been applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for
the target resource.

Corrected Text
--------------
The 401 (Unauthorized) status code indicates that the request has not
been processed because it lacks valid authentication credentials for
the target resource.

Notes
-----
"applying a request" is not a standard expression. Usually, requests are "treated", "granted" or "processed".

This phrasing was imported in Apache Tomcat; thanks to Mark Thomas for pointing out it came from this RFC.
 --VERIFIER NOTES-- 
 A method is applied to a resource to have an effect that results in a response. Any web search on "method applied" will show you that it is quite common in standard English.  The request has already been processed, at least partially, in order to make a decision that resulted in a 401 error
