From f1b4acbb441f665f7387ad30dda5bb861ec0400a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cameron Bytheway Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2012 22:31:07 -0700 Subject: Return 422 instead of 500 when handling body Using a 4xx error would be more appropriate for this since the server is parsing the content from the client and needs to let the client know the data is malformed (not the actual HTTP request but i.e. JSON semantics). The definition for 422 is described in [RFC 4918](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4918#section-11.2) --- src/cowboy_rest.erl | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src') diff --git a/src/cowboy_rest.erl b/src/cowboy_rest.erl index c6b53bd..06655a4 100644 --- a/src/cowboy_rest.erl +++ b/src/cowboy_rest.erl @@ -747,7 +747,7 @@ choose_content_type(Req, next(Req2, State2, OnTrue); {false, Req2, HandlerState} -> State2 = State#state{handler_state=HandlerState}, - respond(Req2, State2, 500) + respond(Req2, State2, 422) end; choose_content_type(Req, State, OnTrue, ContentType, [_Any|Tail]) -> choose_content_type(Req, State, OnTrue, ContentType, Tail). -- cgit v1.2.3
