Who knows which response code represents the partial content? Or what code belongs to the error that says the request uri too long? Do you know the status code of the teapot?

ResponseCode is a tiny tool intended to give a handy way of handling response status codes with text instead of numbers.

gem install response_code

or

gem 'response_code'

require 'response_code'

puts ResponseCode.ok
# => 200

Using sinatra

#!/usr/bin/env ruby 

require 'sinatra'
require 'response_code'

get('/') {
  status ResponseCode.im_a_teapot
  'I\'m a teapot!' 
}

Executing curl -i localhost:4567
