     [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-420?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Pizzo updated ODATA-420:
--------------------------------

    Proposal: Proposal: rewrite descriptions so as not to make a conformance statement.  (was: 9.2.1 Response Code 404 Not Found
If the resource specified by the request URL does not exist, the service MUST respond with 404 Not Found. The response body SHOULD provide additional information.

9.2.2 Response Code 405 Method Not Allowed
If the resource specified by the request URL exists but does not support the request method, the service MUST respond with 405 Method Not Allowed. In this case the response MUST include an Allow header containing a list of the valid request methods for the requested resource as specified in [RFC2616].

9.3.1 Response Code 501 Not Implemented
If the client requests functionality for an existing resource that is not implemented by the service, the service MUST respond with 501 Not Implemented. The response body SHOULD describe the functionality not implemented.
