The Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP for short) is a protocol for controlling, monitoring and diagnosing coffee pots.
HTCPCP is specified in the jocular RFC 2324, published on April 1 1998. Although the RFC describing the protocol is an April fools joke and not to be taken seriously, it specifies the protocol itself accurately enough for it to be a real, non-fictional protocol. No known implementations of it exist, though.
HTCPCP is an extension of HTTP. HTCPCP requests are identified with the URI scheme coffee:
and contain several additions to the HTTP methods:
BREW
orPOST
: Causes the HTCPCP server to brew coffee.GET
: Retrieves coffee from the HTCPCP server.PROPFIND
: Finds out metadata about the coffee.WHEN
: Says "when", causing the HTCPCP server to stop pouring milk into the coffee (if applicable).
For more detailed specifications, see the HTCPCP RFC.
