I learned about this http response code too late. About 4 years ago I was working at a startup and I was the "lead engineer" (aka only engineer) on a project where I had to design and implement an entire REST API. I really wish I would have put this in somewhere, since we weren't doing code review (because it was literally only me).

oh wow you're right. i've seen it in "official-ish" sites so often, but never read the actual rfc docs and it's just "unused"

It's a HTCPCP Response Code.

It is what your internet connected Tea kettle responds with when receiving a coffee information request.
