Re: yajl error management

I'd expect
400 Bad Request - the server cannot or will not process the request due to
an apparent client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, size too large,
invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing).

However, are you sure the characters are actually invalid? JSON is UTF-8.

Are the characters invalid only because you're trying to stuff them into an
EBCDIC variable?

You may need to stuff them into a UTF-8 and then remove any chars you can't
handle.

Hello,

I'm getting an error caused by invalid characters in the JSON data that my
program is reading. I've made the program end and issued a call
to YAJL_writeStdOut with the error message. I'm not sure what value I
should use as http status, 200 or 500? Also, I have no idea how this will
be received or used by the client. I'm guessing that it should be his
responsibility to indicate how such errors should be returned?

Thanks
