I don't see how it's dramatic or smug at all.
451 is an improvement on the vague 403 forbidden status code, and is specified in RFC 7725, a standards track document:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7725 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7725
This isn't an inside joke that someone just made up, other than someone (Timothy Bray?) choosing this particular constant out of the remaining unused 4xx series.
- gorgoiler 5y agoFor me, the spirit of 451 was as a form protest, not some sort of blanket arse-covering. In other news, a friend of a friend's mom's tennis partner's cat sitter knew someone whose website was taken down by socialist European lawyers, so what harm is there from banning them from the village? It's not like we want them here anyway!
