Re: Reg: Web Service in IBMi

The RFCs have always allowed you to return a payload with non-2xx status codes.

If you write your own web service with Apache, et al, you can do this as well.

It sounds like Suren is having this problem with IWS, so I was hoping to see a response from Nadir about it.  Good chance that this is a limitation in IWS, but he's the expert.

I have seen payloads returned with 4xx 5xx codes before though. Not sure
what the RFC is on that offhand. But if IBM is returning no payload, I
would venture to guess that is the correct method as most other protocols
IBM is VERY adherent to the RFCs... almost to a fault sometimes. :)
