HTTP Cats
- tectonic 15y agoI like this one: http://httpcats.herokuapp.com/599 http://httpcats.herokuapp.com/599
- 100k 15y agoI love Heroku, LOLcats, and HTTP so I am very disappointed in myself right now for not thinking of this. Nice work, sir.
- chrisguitarguy 15y agoNot mine, just stumbled on it. My favorite: http://httpcats.herokuapp.com/418 http://httpcats.herokuapp.com/418
- thedufer 15y agoIn case the original author shows up here: on first glance, the index page looks like an error page. Perhaps a little formatting or color so I don't assume the server is down and hit back immediately?
- rogeriopvl 15y agoThanks for the feedback. This was something I did quickly for some friends, so I didn't add any style to it. Never thought that it would get popular.
- Toddward 15y agoThis would be so much easier if the status codes on the index just linked to the actual pages.
- oinksoft 15y agoI'll keep this up for a day. http://oinksoft.com/http-cats.html http://oinksoft.com/http-cats.html
- rogeriopvl 15y agoYes, you're right. I'll add links to the status codes. Thanks for the feedback!
- timinman 15y agoSo great! And then you plussed it with an Easter Egg (418)!
- greenyoda 15y agoThat's not an Easter egg; it's a legitimate status code from RFC 2324 (April 1, 1998): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_418 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_418
- nickloewen 15y agoThat doesn't make it not an easter egg, though. Most 'easter eggs' function perfectly for what they are, they're just also amusing and not entirely necessary.
- pitiburi 15y agoYou, sir, have just found the perfect nickname for my girlfriend.
- pluies_public 15y agoQuite a few RFCs published on April 1st are to be considered with somewhat of a grain of salt, cf. RFC 1149 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt)
- JonnieCache 15y agoIf you want this minus the cats (and with more features), try http://httpstat.us/ http://httpstat.us/
- joshu 15y agohttp://httpstat.us/404 http://httpstat.us/404 dumps the actual code.
- tantalor 15y agoA few of mine, 403: https://github.com/tantalor/emend/raw/master/app/static/images/errors/403.jpg https://github.com/tantalor/emend/raw/master/app/static/imag... 404: https://github.com/tantalor/emend/raw/master/app/static/images/errors/404.jpg https://github.com/tantalor/emend/raw/master/app/static/imag... 405: https://github.com/tantalor/emend/raw/master/app/static/images/errors/405.jpg https://github.com/tantalor/emend/raw/master/app/static/imag... 500: https://github.com/tantalor/emend/raw/master/app/static/images/errors/500.jpg https://github.com/tantalor/emend/raw/master/app/static/imag... 503: https://github.com/tantalor/emend/raw/master/app/static/images/errors/503.jpg https://github.com/tantalor/emend/raw/master/app/static/imag...
- rw 15y agoA gist to load all HTTP cats in your browser: http://bit.ly/vS19gp http://bit.ly/vS19gp
- xentronium 15y agoCats. Seriously?
- CWIZO 15y agoI'm wondering what's so special here too. And don't get me wrong I love cats. In fact I literally just brought home two little kittens :)
- nostromo 15y ago+1 for my favorite code: http://httpcats.herokuapp.com/418 http://httpcats.herokuapp.com/418 418: I'm a TeaPot
- andrewreds 15y agoisn't 418 from the HTCPCP specification, rather then HTTP?
- jrockway 15y agoThe Flickr discussion made the same point. The conclusion was that pictures of cats are meant to be amusing rather than literal expressions of a single IETF standard.
- fiznool 15y agoAmen to that. People need to seriously lighten up. My favourite: http://httpcats.herokuapp.com/426 http://httpcats.herokuapp.com/426

- bryanh 15y agoJust in case you want something more full featured (think IP, COOKIES, POST, GZIP, STREAMS, etc...) check out http://httpbin.org/ http://httpbin.org/ from the same guy that brought sanity to http requests in Python: http://kennethreitz.com/ http://kennethreitz.com/
- 198d 15y agoSo, there's definitely been a few discussion recently about the quality of Hacker News articles and their relevancy to the community. Is this post an indication that LOLCats are of high priority for discussion?
- oinksoft 15y agoI don't see an issue with web developer-oriented levity. I believe this should be a protected class of LOLCats.
- patrickyeon 15y agoThere's always a discussion about quality and relevancy. What I find most interesting here is that 'cute animal pictures' are specifically called out as off-topic in the guidelines, and cat pictures hold such a strong connotation of lack of content to me. And then, 130 points puts it at 5th or 6th rank of the front page, sorted just by points (at the time of this post). </snob>
- jrockway 15y agoIt's a honeypot article. Upvote it and your upvotes count less. Flag it, and your flags count more.
- bkrausz 15y agoNone of these actually issue the HTTP status code claimed: they're just linked to pages with images. Request URL:http://httpcats.herokuapp.com/404 Request Method:GET Status Code:200 OK
- rogeriopvl 15y agoThat's the point. And it's not linked to "pages with images". It actually just returns the image as Content-Type header field reveals :)
