http-response-codes

I've got this code: private async Task SavePlatypusComplianceFileOnServer(string year, string month) { string monthAsMM = ReportRunnerConstsAndUtils.GetMonthAsMM(month); HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); client.BaseAddress = new Uri(ReportRunnerConstsAndUtils.SERVER_BASE_ADDRESS); String uriToCall = String.Format("/api/PlatypusCompliance/{0}/{1}{2}", _unit, year, monthAsMM); HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(uriToCall, null); } ...that works fine. On looking at it, though, I thought to myself, "Self, why are you assigning a value to "response" when you're not using it?

This question already has an answer here: HttpURLConnection.getResponseCode() throws IOException when code is known 2 answers I can see that getResponseCode() method is just a getter Method that returns the statusCode already set by the a connect action that happened before. So in this context why does it throw an IOException ? Am i missing something? From javadoc : It will return 200 and 401 respectively. Returns -1 if no code can be discerned from the response (i.e., the response is not valid HTTP). Returns: the HTTP Status-Code, or -1 Throws: IOException - if an error occurred connecting to

Is there a HTTP status code to tell Google (and others) to go away, index me again later ? Basically, one that semantically tells clients that the site is down for maintenance? The ones I have considered are 304 => Not modified 307 => Temporary redirect 410 => Gone 503 => Service Unavailable I'm leaning towards the last one, but was just curious as to which one was proper choice. Daniel Vassallo HTTP 503 - Service Unavailable would be the most appropriate. The Web server (running the Web site) is currently unable to handle the HTTP request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the

I need to throw 404 and take visitor to a specific page. I am trying with following code: FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); ExternalContext externalContext = facesContext.getExternalContext(); externalContext.setResponseStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND); externalContext.setResponseHeader(Common.LOCATION, "browse_by_category.xhtml?category=CATEGORY_ALL"); facesContext.responseComplete(); 404 happens but redirection to the browse_by_category.xhtml page does not happen. Any help will be greatly appreciated. According to your comment please try this:

This pattern is from the django docs: class SimpleTest(unittest.TestCase): def test_details(self): client = Client() response = client.get('/customer/details/') self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200) From: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/testing/tools/#default-test-client If the test fails, the error message does not help very much. For example if the status_code is 302, then I see 302 != 200 . The question is now: Where does the wrong HTTPResponse get created? I would like to see the stacktrace of the interpreter where the wrong HTTPResponse object get created. I read the

I have an API which does some bulk processing task. Let's say it does naming of some resource. I passed 7 request in bulk, out of which 5 updated successfully and 2 failed. My question is how to handle the response. With HTTP I can't return both success and error at same time. There is a HTTP code of partial success but I need to return individual response of all resource at once. Is there anyway we can do it? You may use 207 MULTI-STATUS for http status A Multi-Status response conveys information about multiple resources in situations where multiple status codes might be appropriate. The
