ruby-core #78169
Issue #12935 has been updated by Victor Shepelev.
> Can you point to some of these examples? If there is actual use of this code in a somewhat uniform way, then it should be possible to register it. Also, if there are other, similar codes, then the same applies.
Well, except for Google's (and similar) Easter Eggs, I saw several times (including pretty big companies) when the code was used internally, but in production, for signaling some weird conditions.
And I should say that gems that convert HTTP codes to exceptions or explanations, typically aware of it:
~~~ruby
RestClient.get('https://www.google.com/teapot')
# => RestClient::ImATeapot: 418 I'm A Teapot
Faraday.get('https://www.google.com/teapot').reason_phrase
# => "I'm a Teapot"
HTTParty.get('https://www.google.com/teapot').response
# => #<Net::HTTPClientError 418 I'm a Teapot readbody=true>
~~~

----------------------------------------
I was looking for a common source of http status-to-reason map in ruby, and I've found many sources that address the same, some of them overlapping, most of them clearly copy-pasting from each other. In the process, I also found that the current hashmap used by webrick seems not to be up-to-date. Compare:
https://github.com/nahi/ruby/blob/webrick_trunk/lib/webrick/httpstatus.rb#L56-L97
with https://github.com/puma/puma/blob/3f66b3d7d4413f843e4e541c4d282238318c4cd2/lib/puma/const.rb#L16-L74
I started (this thread in puma)[https://github.com/puma/puma/issues/1133] to see about openness is centralizing this information in ruby (or just use an updated version of webrick hash), and I found out some interesting things, like the fact that rails reloading is not compatible with some of these things.
My main motivation would be to have something similar to nodejs's `http.STATUS_CODES`:
~~~
> require("http").STATUS_CODES
{ '100': 'Continue',
'101': 'Switching Protocols',
'102': 'Processing',
'200': 'OK',
....
~~~
As http is something which is internally implemented in ruby's stdlib, question would just remain on how and where to implement it, and public API stability and "up-to-date"ness guarantees. I'd suggest maybe making it part of "net/http", like:
~~~ruby
require "net/http/status"
puts Net::HTTP::STATUS_CODES
~~~
but that's just a suggestion.
