The HTTP **`418 I'm a teapot`** status response code indicates that the server refuses to brew coffee because it is, permanently, a teapot.
1012
A combined coffee/tea pot that is temporarily out of coffee should instead return {{HTTPStatus("503")}}.
1113
This error is a reference to Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol defined in April Fools' jokes in 1998 and 2014.

While originally defined in [RFC 2324](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2324) as an April Fools' joke, this status code was formally reserved in [RFC 9110](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110) due to its wide deployment as a joke, so it cannot be assigned any non-joke semantics for the foreseeable future.

Some websites use this response for requests they do not wish to handle, such as automated queries.
