RFC for 700 HTTP Status Codes is a satirical Internet-Draft proposing a fictional 700-series family of HTTP status codes for developer-related failures. It extends the familiar HTTP error-code concept to mistakes, operational mishaps, workplace problems, and absurd technical situations. The document is formatted like a formal RFC and uses standards terminology such as MUST, SHOULD, and MAY. Codes are organized into categories covering inexcusable errors, novelty implementations, syntax problems, predictable failures, blame shifting, and catastrophic Internet events. Examples include errors for caching mistakes, off-by-one bugs, unavailable project owners, and missing funding. The source document is maintained in Markdown and can be converted into RFC-style output with mmark. The project is intentionally humorous rather than a proposed production HTTP standard.
