==Commands and replies==
HTCPCP is an extension of [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol|HTTP]]. HTCPCP requests are identified with the [[Uniform Resource Identifier|URI]] scheme <code>coffee:</code> (or the corresponding word in any other of the 29 listed languages) and contain several additions to the HTTP methods:
{|
|width="150px"|<code>BREW</code> or <code>POST</code>||Causes the HTCPCP server to brew [[coffee]]
|-
|<code>GET</code>||Retrieves coffee from the HTCPCP server
|-
|<code>PROPFIND</code>||Finds out metadata about the coffee
|-
|<code>WHEN</code>||Says "when", causing the HTCPCP server to stop pouring [[milk]] into the coffee (if applicable)
|}

It also defines two [[List of HTTP status codes#4xx_Client_Error|error responses]]:
{|
|width="150px" valign=top|<code>406 Not Acceptable</code>||The HTCPCP server is unable to brew coffee for some reason; the response should indicate a list of acceptable coffee types.
|-
|<code>418 I'm a teapot</code>||The HTCPCP server is a [[teapot]]; the resulting entity may be [[I'm a Little Teapot|short and stout]]. Demonstrations of this behaviour exist.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/418 HTTP 418 implemented on BBC CBeebies]</ref><ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/418 HTTP 418 implemented on The New York Times]</ref><ref>[http://www.cs.rhul.ac.uk/home/joseph/teapot.html Implementing Error 418]</ref><ref>[http://134.219.188.123/ Error 418 implemented]</ref>

The Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP for short) is a protocol for controlling, monitoring, and diagnosing coffee pots.

Server at [1], which implements the protocol

HTCPCP is specified in RFC 2324, published on 1 April 1998.[1] The editor Emacs includes a fully functional implementation of it,[2] and a number of bug reports exist complaining about Mozilla's lack of support for the protocol.[3] Ten years after the publication of HTCPCP, the Web-Controlled Coffee Consortium (WC3) published a first draft of "HTCPCP Vocabulary in RDF"[4] in analogy of the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) "HTTP Vocabulary in RDF".[5]
