Isnt it supposed to give us the actual status code? about http.cat HOT 6 CLOSED

in my thought, this project is functioning as an image provider

someone who needs an image for their project could get an image source from this project

from http.cat.

I think you're misunderstanding the concept of an API. If I want to build something that uses httpcat as a backend image provider, I can't have it returning random HTTP error codes, my client would interpret this as a real, valid error.

@TheEssem I can think about it since there seems to be some demand. It would have to be done as an optional behavior.

Would be cooler and just as functional imo if it returned the same status code 🐱

from http.cat.

Would it at least be possible to provide a separate endpoint that does return the same status code? It would be very useful for testing application behavior.

This website will return the HTTP code for testing: https://statuscodes.org
for example, https://statuscodes.org/418

from http.cat.
