Description

Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error code “418 I’m a teapot”. The resulting entity body MAY be short and stout.

Usage: Activate and visit http://example.com/brew

Had a good laugh! But there's more to brewing either coffee or tea, though.

Thank you, Steven, for finally adding status header 418 to WordPress! I'm not entirely convinced yet that this HTCPCP implementation fully conforms to RFC 2324 specifications, though. 😉 For example, it might be desirable to handle response cases a little less strictly overall. Perhaps you might wish to consider something along the line of Google's Teapot (tying the response header to the request URL, that is), which I think would run less of a risk of putting off users who didn't try to brew coffee with a teapot. It would be really nice to see this implemented before next April 1st!
