I found PaceErrorReports[1], but it's been withdrawn. This PaseReturnEntryInErrorResponse does not introduce new format in contrast to PaceErrorReports. [1]http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/PaceErrorReports
PaseReturnEntryInErrorResponse uses the Atom Entry Document, as Eric suggested.[2] [2]http://www.imc.org/atom-protocol/mail-archive/msg05017.html Please be gentle, this is going to be my first Pace. And English is not my primary language. thus, the Pace is mostly made out of Copy&Paste form here and there;-). suggestions, objections, corrections are all welcome. PaseReturnEntryInErrorResponse == Abstract == Use the Atom Entry Document to express human readable descriptions of failure conditions. == Status == New == Rationale == When the server generates a response with a status code of 4xx or 5xx, it is useful if the server returns an explanation of the rejection or the error in a human readable fashion. == Proposal == In Section 8 Add: When the server generates a response with a status code of 4xx or 5xx, it MAY also return a response body, which, if provided, SHOULD be an Atom Entry Document representing the error and/or the error reason. Example HTTP/1.x 500 Internal Server Error Content-Type: application/atom+xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"; xml:lang="en"> <title>Internal Server Error</title> <summary>couldn't connect to the DB server.</summary> <content type="html">[long winded explanation or trace log]</content> <link type="text/html" rel="alternate" href="http://example.org/FooPu blish/Docs/Errors/283.html"/> <category scheme="http://w3c.org/http/errors/"; term="500" label="Internal Server Error" /> <category scheme="http://example.com/FooPublish/"; term="error-283" label="DB connect failed" /> <generator uri="http://www.example.com/FooPublisher"; version="1.0">Foo Publisher 1.0</generator> <author><name>Foo Publisher</name></author> <id>urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a</id> <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02Z</updated> </entry> == Impact ==
