 Subject:  418 - I'm A Teapot error
13/09/2017 09:27 GMT

I spotted something sort of Goodies related, I was amused with a recent discussions in regards to a proposal to remove a web site error called "418 - I'm A Teapot" from the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) specification.
It is a real ratified web error much like the "404 - Page Cannot Be Found" or "HTTP error 500 (internal server error)" we might encounter from time to time.

I was wondering when such a page might be triggered?

-When a web page that has references in it to Tim Brooke-Taylor goes awry so it sends out in panic a "418 - I'm A Teapot" error.
-Alternatively if a building housing a web site server somehow gets encased in concrete?
-If your new online bulk order for String fails - then up comes the teapot error.
-"I'm a teapot" error comes up on the BBC website approx 1 Nov 2017,  as that is when you can no longer download Goodies episodes from their site  (as per latest Clarion and Globe newsletter)
-Everytime a Union Jack waistcoat is sold online accompanied with a bonus "A-String" - it redirects you to an "I'm A Tea Pot" page!


If you want to read further about this protocol / web page you can see the specs of the "Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol" here : https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2324.txt
An overview is here  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper_Text_Coffee_Pot_Control_Protocol
