HTTP/2 204
(a poem)
Jacob Evelyn
“HTTP/2 204” is a poem that lives entirely within the headers of an HTTP response.
What does that mean?The poem
I composed this poem entirely from standard HTTP response headers. When the poem’s URL is requested, my server sends a “no content” HTTP response (status code 204, using the HTTP/2 protocol) whose headers form the poem. You can view the poem in your computer’s built-in terminal by running the following command:
curl --head https://ja.cob.land/http2-204
Note that some computers have older versions of curl which may modify the poem slightly by using HTTP/1.1, adding a connection header, or alphabetizing the header fields.
