HTTP Status Code 418 refers to I'm a teapot. This is an April Fools' joke status code defined in RFC 2324, which was published in 1998. The code indicates that the server is a teapot and therefore cannot brew coffee. The humorous nature of this status code is not intended for actual use in production systems; instead, it serves as a light-hearted reminder that not all status codes need to be serious.
When a client makes a request for coffee to a teapot, the teapot will respond with 418, signaling that it is not capable of fulfilling the request, as it is, in fact, a teapot and not a coffee machine. This status code is often cited in discussions about HTTP status codes due to its quirky and playful nature.
