Valentine's Day, Geek Style

Daniel, MuNu's pet grad student, posts regarding some interesting valentine's day gift ideas for the geek-girl in your life.

But the HTTPanties only come in "200 OK" and "403 Forbidden". Could we not make use of some of the other HTTP error codes?

Let's see:

Hmm...

100 Continue (Works for me.)

101 Switching Protocols (Um...)

204 No Content (Maybe on a guys boxers, if he's had, you know, snip-snip.)

300 Multiple Choices (See 101 Switching Protocols)

303 See Other (Other?)

304 Not Modified (On a ladies' t-shirt)

305 Use Proxy (Safety first)

307 Temporary Redirect ("If the 307 status code is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued.")

400 Bad Request (Try flowers or chocolates, maybe dinner and a movie.)

401 Unauthorized

402 Payment Required (!)

404 Not Found (!!)

405 Method Not Allowed (See 101, 300)

406 Not Acceptable (See 400)

409 Conflict ("The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource.")

410 Gone (Gone where?)

411 Length Required (Ouch. That's gotta hurt.)

412 Precondition Failed ("Nibbling the earlobe, uhh, kneading the buttocks, and so on and so forth. So, we have all these possibilities before we stampede towards the clitoris.")

413 Request Entity Too Large (No comment.)

415 Unsupported Media Type ("The server is refusing to service the request because the entity of the request is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method.")

416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable (?)

417 Expectation Failed ("Oh, you men are all alike. Seven or eight quick ones, and you're off with the boys.")

4 If you've got a member of the opposite gender posting a 416 "Requested Range Not Satisfiable", then you'd better keep her/him, and for heaven's sake make sure you use the code 305!

Also, what if the code 300: Multiple Choices referred to a cluster, rather than a protocol switch?

What? Why are you looking at me like that?
