http.server "code 404, message File not found"

I'm hosting a Python http server from a simple HTML folder on my laptop using py -m http.server. It works fine on the browser end, (tested from computers on my LAN) but the output often says
::ffff:192.168.1.212 - - [19/Dec/2021 21:58:38] code 404, message File not found
what's with that? (obviously the date/time and local IP are often different, just pasting full line for clarification)

Right after the error message you given, there should be another one indicating which file the browser is requesting:

$ python3 -m http.server
Serving HTTP on :: port 8000 (http://[::]:8000/) ...
::1 - - [20/Dec/2021 00:59:02] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
::1 - - [20/Dec/2021 00:59:02] code 404, message File not found
::1 - - [20/Dec/2021 00:59:02] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 -

In the above example the browser is requesting /favicon.ico, which is not found.
