Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol

Yesterday I came across HTCPCP - or Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol. It was intended as an April Fool's joke, but is still rather amusing. I particularly liked the status code 418 - I'm a teapot.

"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."
