I'm the author of an April Fool's Internet Standard, AMA - Lemmy.world

Let’s get the AMAs kicked off on Lemmy, shall we. Almost ten years ago now, I wrote RFC 7168 [https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7168], “Hypertext Coffeepot Control Protocol for Tea Efflux Appliances” which extends HTCPCP [https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2324] 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!
