Let’s get the AMAs kicked off on Lemmy, shall we. Almost ten years ago now, I
wrote RFC 7168 [https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7168], “Hypertext Coffeepot
Control Protocol for Tea Efflux Appliances” which extends HTCPCP
[https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2324] to handle tea brewing. Both Coffeepot
Control Protocol and the tea-brewing extension are joke Internet Standards, and
were released on Apr 1st (1998 and 2014). You may be familiar with HTTP error
418, “I’m a teapot”; this comes from the 1998 standard. I’m giving a talk on the
history of HTTP and HTCPCP at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin later
this month, and I need an FAQ section; AMA about the Internet and HTTP. Let’s
try this out!
I see, thanks. That’s a test instance and therefore there may be other restrictions related to federation for that particular example.
