Advanced tools
I always forget what some status codes are and what they do—therefore I find this tool handy to do a quick lookup.
npm install -g http-status-cli
or
npm install --save http-status-cli

or
var httpStatus = require('http-status-cli');
httpStatus(418, function(err, msg, desc) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
}
console.log(msg, desc);
});
// Output:

This code was defined in 1998 as one of the traditional IETF April Fools' jokes, in RFC 2324,
Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol, and is not expected to be implemented by actual HTTP servers.
The RFC specifies this code should be returned by tea pots requested to brew coffee. This HTTP
status is used as an easter egg in some websites, including Google.com.
