How many wikipedia pages can we turn into .es domains? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes On a side note, I need to start using 418 "I'm a teapot" more often.

It's not even as useful as the Wikipedia list as the main page fails to specify which codes are from WebDAV, etc., and it even copies some made-up non-RFC codes without including the caveats.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Coincidentally I just set up a response that uses 418 I'm a teapot about an hour ago. I really wanted 422 Unprocessable Entity, but werkzeug doesn't implement that (and for some reason instead implements 418 I'm a teapot).

It doesn't implement that? https://github.com/mitsuhiko/werkzeug/blob/master/werkzeug/_...

Negative, that's just a dictionary for looking up the exception name. A pull request for 422 did get accepted today though, so yes, now it does.

Beautiful! A suggestion, though: Use the whitespace to the right of the status codes to display their explanations, rather than linking to a new page; it would be easier to browse this way.
