'Are there languages/software that implements http status code 418? [closed]
I know that status code 418 was defined as a April Fools' joke, and "is not expected to be implemented by actual HTTP servers" as is stated on Wikipedia.
But I would be interested if any of you knew of a language/webserver/IDE that supports it.
I was trying on Apache (via php), and obviously it got me an internal error (500). I just like the humor behind it (am not trying to troll here) and would like to know if more than just Emacs implements this.
More precisely: It could be emulated in php for example by doing something like ...
header("HTTP/1.1 418 Whatever text I'd like");
... but do any of you know any actual server software, or language in particular, that implements it natively, where something like the following would not throw a 500, but actually work:
http_response_code(418);

Yes, it is implemented (by a teapot).
This error code is an impotent part of HTCPCP(Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol).

Python 3.9 will support HTTP 418 from its next (fifth) alpha release. I opened a pull request for this to be supported which was merged last weekend.

Stack overflow implements it:
albeit, a little creative, when dealing with CSRF violations.

Go lang's net/http package codifies HTTP 418 Status as a constant: StatusTeapot.

My server, www.snarked.org, does it if the pathname begins "/coffee" or "/pot-" followed by a digit, or methods BREW or WHEN, or a scheme equating to "coffee:" (actually, the regex pattern "^[CK][AO]FF?[EIO]E?$" which covers most western-European languages). After 60 seconds, it rolls over to Google's top hit for teapots.
