Sup gang,

Just thought I'd drop a quick notification about the HTTP status code responses of the API changing.

Currently the API pretty much returns a 200 response on every response regardless of wether it's actually OK or not.
We'd very much like to change that to return some more sane statuses (statii?) when appropriate, if only for our internal IIS logs which keep telling us that the API is just running fine and dandy when we know it's not.

Any worries, comments and general dev bashing welcome!

As soon as Lady Fortune allows. This is really keeping us form properly debugging the actual problem with the API.

The word you are looking for is "states"

Hope this helped

The only worry I have is you won't implement it fast enough .. Rabble rabble

Nice change though :)

In which situations would you return non-200? Just server errors (i.e. 5xx)? Would things like authentication errors become 401? I guess the meta question is are you planning to map some/all of the existing API error codes to HTTP codes instead?

I'm wondering about the same thing.

That would be the only logical answer.
