RFC 2324was published on April 1, 1998, by Larry Masinter. It's classified as a joke RFC, but its impact has been anything but.
The 418 I'm a Teapot status code has been adopted by frameworks worldwide, including Spring Boot, Go, and Express.js.
In 2014, a proposal to remove 418 from the HTTP spec was met with overwhelming community opposition. The teapot prevails.
HTCPCP stands for Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol. Its entire purpose is to control coffee pots over HTTP. Truly, the most important protocol ever written.

This coffee pot takes its RFC 2324 compliance very seriously. It WILL return a 418. And it WILL be offended. You have been warned.
