HTTP Status 418: I’m a Teapot

After seeing this in Rack::Utils (my IDE even highlighted it because it’s the only one in double quotes):

HTTP_STATUS_CODES = {
      100  => 'Continue',
      101  => 'Switching Protocols',
...
      418  => "I'm a Teapot",
...
}

I had to look it up: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2324

Thanks to laserlemon I can finally implement my fully web-controlled coffee pot with Sinatra on Rack!

Origin 1.0.5 yanked

If you’re using Mongoid::Paranoia, and you’re running into a problem that looks like this:


/Users/you/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/origin-1.0.5/lib/origin/extensions/nil_class.rb:30:in `__expanded__': wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) (ArgumentError)

It might because you are using version 1.0.5 of the origin gem, which was yanked from rubygems.org yesterday: http://rubygems.org/gems/origin/versions/1.0.5

If that’s the case, you’ll probably want to uninstall bad version:
gem uninstall origin -v 1.0.5

If you’re using Rails 3, you’ll want to make sure that your Gemfile.lock does not refer to origin 1.0.5. You can run “bundle update” or delete your Gemfile.lock and run “bundle” to create a new one.

For more information, take a look at the issue on Github. Good luck!
