Added HTTP Error Code 418 I'm a Teapot

[boramalper]

redbot fails to implement the 418 I'm a Teapot status code.

Its source is RFC2324, Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP/1.0).

Please consider adding support for 418 from Node, since The Internet Engineering Task Force is officially working on reserving 418.

Thanks,

(Relevant PR for mod_python.)

That's not the right place; you're looking for redbot/message/status.py.

[boramalper]

Thanks for the fast reply, does the new commit solve the issue?

[mnot]

Good start.

[mnot]

This needs to be more descriptive of the situation; this status code isn't a part of HTTP, so it should say that.

Also, there needs to be a text (as per other Notes) explaining in more detail. The abstract of draft-nottingham-thanks-larry is a good starting point.

[mnot]

I'd say levels.BAD (see below)

[mnot]

... or levels.WARN, I suppose.

[mnot]

(oh, and don't worry about the CI failure; that's a Python bug, see #189)

I was not quite sure of what to write but hope this helps. =)

[mnot]

That's pretty good! I'm getting sleepy now, but will get it in tomorrow. Thanks!

[boramalper]

You're welcome. I came here to have some little fun but since you were so helpful and kind, I'm glad that I managed to contribute to your project hopefully in a positive way. =)

Cheers!

[mnot]

One more thing.

[mnot]

I think we need to take this out; AFAICT your patch to mod_python has been accepted, but they haven't released yet, so this would cause errors for anyone using mod_python until it's available. Also, REDbot (for better or worse) doesn't actually generate 418, so this won't ever be used.

[boramalper]

Done.

[mnot]

Thanks! I'll get it deployed shortly.

[mnot]

Should be up.

[boramalper]

Thanks!
