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).
Bit disappointed that this is not built into the c# http status codes. Was building a mock service and wanted to return something that would never occur in production for things I didn't have definitions for. This seemed like a perfect response but it's not part of the statues enum.

*unofficial but may as well be official at this point
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.
Joke built into the http standard
The first RFC I've enjoyed reading https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2324#section-2.3.2
looks like a brodie enjoyer to me~
Teapot. Can't you

How did you find out about this? It was meant to be top secret.

what stops you from just passing a 418
int?enumsare just fancyintsin c#I've used this one in prod a couple of times. Only for internal services and in a very well defined situation. But it's great to be able to use it.
