Re: yajl error management

The generic code that would apply to any error that occurred on the server would be 500...   But, 400 is a bit more specific, it implies that the data sent by the caller was invalid.

I definitely wouldn't use 200... that means "success".  So the caller might think their request was processed successfully if you return 200.

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
