suggestion: json response

it’d be useful to request https://http.cat/401 with either “Accept: application/json” or /401.json to get a response similar to

{ 
 "code": 401
 "description": "Unauthorized"
}

mostly I am looking for a data source for an irc bot to respond to “!http 401”.

this snippit will pull http status codes from the wikipedia page of List of HTTP Status Codes, and builds a json file for each one. (note, required the ‘pup’ html command line parser)

curl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes | pup -n 'div.mw-parser-output dl dt text{}' | sed -r 's/^([0-9]+) ([^(]+)(.*)/\1 {"code":\1, "text":\"\2\"}/;t;d' /tmp/a|while read -r code line; do echo $line > $code.json ; done

It has been a long time, but I found this issue again 😆 . I took note of @donpdonp script and created one that does not use pup and can simply be ran with bash. I can also add the actual files if that is more desirable or change bash -> sh to be in line with the other scripts. Let me know @rogeriopvl
