Description Ville Skyttä 2004-07-20 11:46:07 UTC 
"The link is not public. You'd better specify it."

We could do better than that.

now uses:

               401 => "The link is not public and the actual resource is only available behind authentication. If not already done, you could specify it.",

 which I think is already much better.
