HTTP 418 I'm a Teapot
This is a non-standard novelty status code often used for testing, demos, or explicit refusal in a humorous way.
Treat this as a diagnostic or intentional response, not a production availability incident by default.
likely-causes.lst
- $Test route or demo endpoint is intentionally returning 418.
- $Application health route configured with a playful placeholder.
- $Misrouted request hit a sandbox or mock service.
- $Developer intentionally used 418 for unsupported behavior.
recovery-steps.md
- Verify the target environment (dev/staging/prod).
- Check route configuration and mocks in the request path.
- Replace novelty status codes with standard ones in production flows.
- Use 400/403/404/405 as appropriate for real client behavior.

Use these pages for debugging and user guidance. In production, configure your host or reverse proxy to return the matching HTTP status code for the route (especially for 418 and 404/500 responses) rather than serving a 200 with error-themed content.
