Comment on HTTP Cats

Comments

I don’t know what is says about me as a software engineer, but that site is the first place I visit to look up more obscure statuses.

I do the same. It’s easy to remember, to the point, and no fluff. Ok, there’s lots of fluff.

I always "!wiki http status codes", but I think I like your way better. May start doing that.

I always "!wiki http status codes"

You can save yourself three keystrokes by using "!w http status codes"

For some reason, I always do Duck's bang things backwards. Like "http status codes w!"

you could save yourself 3 keystrokes by typing in "https://http.cat"

You can save yourself another 2 keystrokes by adding Wikipedia as a search engine to your browser, giving it the shortcut "w" and typing "w http status codes" Works on Firefox and Chrome, hit sure about other browsers

Wow... TIL that the placement of the bang in the search string (and even the position of the exclamation mark) doesn't matter!

I like this one, but it's arguably less fun:

https://httpstatus.in/
