Re: [cmis-comment] browser status code

["Mueller, Florian" <florian.mueller02@sap.com>]

Hi Michael,

Returning the status code 200 here was a deliberate decision.

This binding is intended for applications running in a web browser. Some browsers do not trigger an Ajax callback when the server sends the status code 204. That is, such _javascript_ applications would never know if the call was successful or is still running.

I agree that from a design perspective returning 204 would be more appropriate, but it’s better to have a specification that works in the real world than being correct everywhere.

Regards,

Florian

Hi,

Currently actions with an empty response return status code 200.

For example deleteObject (5.4.3.20).

Would it not be more appropriate to return 204 No Content?

Please consider this change for the next version of the spec.
