If I have the following rest call:
GET /items/{id}/subitems
Should we return the following in these scenarios?:
{id}
For me the answer is yes for both questions.
REST is about resources. If resource with given ID hasn't been found, then 404 Not Found
is the most appropriate response status.
But at the same time, GET /items/{id}/subitems/{subitem-id}
should definitely return the HTTP 404
if subitem with given id doesn't exist.
