Let’s get the AMAs kicked off on Lemmy, shall we.
Almost ten years ago now, I wrote RFC 7168, “Hypertext Coffeepot Control Protocol for Tea Efflux Appliances” which extends HTCPCP to handle tea brewing. Both Coffeepot Control Protocol and the tea-brewing extension are joke Internet Standards, and were released on Apr 1st (1998 and 2014). You may be familiar with HTTP error 418, “I’m a teapot”; this comes from the 1998 standard.
I’m giving a talk on the history of HTTP and HTCPCP at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin later this month, and I need an FAQ section; AMA about the Internet and HTTP. Let’s try this out!
What kind of coffee do you drink?
I’m not the type to go hunting for the Best Bean, self-grinding to a particular size, pour-over…
The basic swill is plenty for me; my current choice is Kenco Instant.
I am interested in writing a real RFC, what kind of mailing list etc should I join in order to make my RFC real?
The RFC Editor’s site states that there’s an independent submissions track for “real” RFCs, whereby lay members of the public can write Internet-Drafts and then submit them into the review process.
Looks like there’s a good resource on how to write Internet-Drafts over at the IETF Authors site which may be worth perusing.
I just found out about this on Brodie Robertson’s yt channel! I am not a teapot btw!!
How do I know the government isn’t spying on me, cuz they could totally go and compromise all root certificates, thus RIP https.
Oh, and pardon, who the heck does still use http without the s?

Glad to hear it, you should walk around with a HTTP 418 hat so more people know you’re not a teapot.
