Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP/1.0)

[asm]

At Etsy, our coffee pot is hooked in to our IRC bot so that we can ask how many cups of coffee are left ("?coffee"). Someone from the ops team just opened a bug report due to non-compliance with RFC 2324.

The IRC coffee service uses a Pelouze postage scale and https://github.com/morria/coffeed

There is, of course, an Emacs module for this protocol: http://emarsden.chez.com/downloads/coffee.el

This is the RFC April fools from 1998. You can see a list of all the April Fools RFC's here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools_Day_RFC

Oldie but goody. Also, sounds like an arduino project waiting to happen.

Can't wait for the result. Seriously..

And an obligatory coffee-related IT classic - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_Room_coffee_pot

I hear this protocol will become much more important with the advent of cloud brewing.

You get here through the Mosaic story too? Netscape -> The Book of Mozilla -> about: URI scheme -> Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol

Funny in 1998.
