The Hypertext Transfer Protocol Status Code 483 (I'm Not a Freezer)

  This is an anti-pattern. A better, future-proof solution would be to extend HTTP 418 with a header stating just what the server is not:

      HTTP 418 I'm A Teapot
      I'm-Not-A: freezer;teapot;radio

    This is a proposal to add a new HTTP status code. 418 is not a HTTP status code but a HTCPCP status code.

    Considering 418 is the positive assertion, suddenly reversing that would break backwards compatibility; additionally, it adds ambiguity by listing multiple entities it is not, leaving the receiver to potentially assume that it is, for example, a microwave.

    EDIT: missed the positive part remaining, sorry. I maintain that the ambiguity issue stands.

    needs more dry; just remove the second I'm and it's clearer.

    421 Misdirected Request works equally well.

    I tried at the time of the fridge hacks in Europe, but submission was closed.

    They can still hold approval and publish it on April 1st.

    But, then, there is no guarantee humanity will survive that long ;-)

      Only freezers 30 years old and older will survive, tho :D
