Revised
#pragma section-numbers off
== Abstract ==
(Protocol)
The existing discussion of HTTP Response Codes in Section 5.5 is pretty
thin in that it does not provide any useful information about what
information a client should expect back in the event of an error
condition. This maintains the current status quo of only expecting a
HTTP status code but "strongly recommends" that a natural language
description of the error be included in the response.

(replace the existing section 5.5 with)
5.5 HTTP Response codes
APP uses the HTTP defined response status codes to indicate the success
or failure of an operation. Consult the HTTP specification [RFC2616] for
detailed definitions of each status code. It is strongly recommended
that entities contained within HTTP 4xx and 5xx responses include a
human readable, natural language explanation of the error situation.
