I'm the author of an April Fool's Internet Standard, AMA

3 years ago by Two9A to c/asklemmy

Let's get the AMAs kicked off on Lemmy, shall we.

Almost ten years ago now, I wrote RFC 7168, "Hypertext Coffeepot Control Protocol for Tea Efflux Appliances" which extends HTCPCP to handle tea brewing. Both Coffeepot Control Protocol and the tea-brewing extension are joke Internet Standards, and were released on Apr 1st (1998 and 2014). You may be familiar with HTTP error 418, "I'm a teapot"; this comes from the 1998 standard.

I'm giving a talk on the history of HTTP and HTCPCP at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin later this month, and I need an FAQ section; AMA about the Internet and HTTP. Let's try this out!

Every once and a while I'd just like to see 200 get some love, but no. It's all 404 this, 502 that.

I'm just "OK". It's like being the middle child of response codes.

200 is probably the most common status no? Many successful responses will give 200 in the backend
