418 I'm a teapot

# 418 I'm a teapot - HTTP | MDN Source: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Status/418](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Status/418) The HTTP**`418 I'm a teapot`**status response code indicates that the server refuses to brew coffee because it is, permanently, a teapot\. A combined coffee/tea pot that is temporarily out of coffee should instead return[`503`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Status/503)\. This error is a reference to Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol defined in April Fools' jokes in 1998 and 2014\. While originally defined in[RFC 2324](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2324)as an April Fools' joke, this status code was formally reserved in[RFC 9110](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110)due to its wide deployment as a joke, so it cannot be assigned any non\-joke semantics for the foreseeable future\. Some websites use this response for requests they do not wish to handle, such as automated queries\.
