interesting RFC dated April 1st, 1998: Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP/1.0):
looking at the date this was published, i think the authors originally meant this as an apilâs fool joke/prank.
funny because now we have IOTs and this is somewhat a reality today :P
@bml@twtxt.net It was totally an April Foolsâ joke; the IETF has a bunch of those. But! It has also been implemented. And 418 is my favorite error code.
@bml@twtxt.net Yup, several. My favorite is RFC 1149, another thatâs since been implemented. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day_Request_for_Comments
