HTTP Status Codes: The Teen Years

I recently asked a web server for something and it responded like a teenager:

403 Forbidden: The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it.

I thought the description of this status code was a joke, but no, it’s right there in the HTTP specification. Here are some others that you won’t find there:

200 OK: Are you happy now?

202 Accepted: I’ll do it tomorrow.

206 Partial Content: I’ll do the rest of it tomorrow.

301 Moved Permanently: It’s not my job.

305 Use Proxy: I can’t remember, ask mom.

401 Unauthorized: You’re not the boss of me.

404 Not Found: Why does everybody always ask me for that?

410 Gone: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

417 Expectation Failed: I thought you were going to put gas in the car.

500 Internal Server Error: I’m not allowed to make a mistake?
