HTTP Status 418 I'm a teapot
- allwein 16y agoDoes anyone have any idea where in the HTTP headers we would store whether the teapot was Short and/or Stout?
- nbpoole 16y agoSince we're talking about the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol here, physical attributes of the teapot are irrelevant and thus outside of the scope of the RFC. The RFC (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2324.txt http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2324.txt) specifically states: 2.3.2 418 I'm a teapot Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error code "418 I'm a teapot". The resulting entity body MAY be short and stout.
- mildweed 16y agoSome day, when your fridge, oven, and yes, teapot all have IP addresses, this will finally come into its own.
- yahelc 16y agoas long as they use IPv6.
- gnaritas 16y agoThey won't need to, there's plenty of space in the private range in IPv4 to put everything in my house on the net. IPv6 isn't going to make firewalls and private networks go away, people aren't going to just put everything directly on the Internet with a public IP just because they can just as no one gives every PC on their network now live IP's.
- pestaa 16y agoI would not risk depleting my home network address pool either. What if I want to connect 4 billion + 1 washing machines?
- mnutt 16y agoI thought that nobody gives every pc on their network live IPs because we're out of IPs? Why wouldn't you give everything its own unique IP and then limit access via firewalls? NAT just makes p2p a huge pain.
- arch_hunter 16y agoI think that he means that he is putting everything on the private IP range: 192.168.* .* .
- boreacrat 16y agoWhich means you'll have to use NAT to control your teapot from the office.
- JonnieCache 16y agoAre you brave enough to put your tea-making facilities in the DMZ? That's laying it on the line, man. Personally I think I would reverse proxy my teapot through nginx, I don't trust a TCP/IP stack embedded in a kitchen appliance. I would like to take this opportunity to direct your attention towards the venerable http://nicecupofteaandasitdown.com http://nicecupofteaandasitdown.com which is both splendid and written by a hacker. I think you can tell when you get to the page with the venn diagram of biscuits.
- oconnore 16y agoThe TCP/IP stack in that NetBSD toaster is >= as secure as your laptop/desktop.
- maushu 16y agoIt will require a new version since coffee pots have evolved since 1998.
- JonnieCache 16y agoSome toasters already have IP addresses. http://www.embeddedarm.com/software/arm-netbsd-toaster.php http://www.embeddedarm.com/software/arm-netbsd-toaster.php NetBSD really does run on everything.
- joezydeco 16y agoNice. Now can someone explain the $11 format in the ID3V2 tag? http://www.id3.org/id3v2.3.0#head-70a65d30522ef0d37642224c2a40517ae35b7155 http://www.id3.org/id3v2.3.0#head-70a65d30522ef0d37642224c2a...
- spiralganglion 16y agoI think it's just a red herring.
- mtrimpe 16y agoThe bright coloured fish, is a red herring.
- pretz 16y agoThis one goes to 11.
- spiralganglion 16y agoSounds like a good MAKE Magazine project: DIY web server in a teapot, with ironic status code. Extra points if you build it in Utah.
- techninja42 16y agoOh dear... Might have to build this now hmm? I'm not sure it counts if it's got a arduino in it and a cat 5 sticking out the back. The water is also an issue.
- spiralganglion 16y agoCan we please find the Science to power a web server with tea?
- JonnieCache 16y agoWe all know that Infinite Improbability Drives are powered by cups of tea, not web servers. Duh.
- benwerd 16y agoBecause I'm apparently spending much of my day responding to HN stories, and because I wanted to see what happens when a page actually returns a 418 code: http://nokiaplanx.com/?teapot=1 http://nokiaplanx.com/?teapot=1
- mildweed 16y agoReminds me of the Trojan Room Coffee Pot (the first webcam on the internet) https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Trojan_Room_coffee_pot https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Trojan_Room_c...
- epi0Bauqu 16y agoI saw that a few weeks ago (actually went looking for something good to use) and have been returning it to botnets ever since. print "Status: 418 I'm a teapot ";
- notJim 16y agoGreat, it's been a few weeks since I saw this on reddit, digg, and a million other places!
- allspaw 16y agoWe actually do have a coffee-related server that we've open sourced at Etsy: https://github.com/morria/CoffeeD/ https://github.com/morria/CoffeeD/ I currently have an open (internal to Etsy) bug on the author on making it RFC 2324 compliant.
- nkassis 16y agoI think this should be reused for something related to WebGL ;p
- polynomial 16y agoAnyone have a patch for nginx?
- fleitz 16y agoIs implementing status 418 a requirement for teapot atheists?
- mindcrime 16y agoNote to self: Hack my Mr. Coffee to support an IP stack, and implement RFC-2324. Maybe a good chance to do some Arduino hacking?
