This document defines the Hypertext Transfer Protocol status code 483 (I'm Not a Freezer). A server returns this status code when it understands a request that requires freezing or refrigeration capabilities but is not capable of providing those capabilities. This document also clarifies the distinction between a freezer, a refrigerator, a server operating at a low temperature, a frozen software process, and an online service advertising "cold storage".
It’s a nerd satire when it has no practical use but valid references to other normative documents.
Adding this status code to servers simply makes it easier for hackers to locate the actual freezers.
