Comment (by Cleophus Robinson):
Whoops, I was confused by the "next steps" message above - I'll know for
next time.
If I'm understanding correctly the original suggestion was for us to
handle it at the project level? Or by project level do you mean another,
more strict class within the django.http module? My team and I won't make
this mistake again so the fix isn't so much for us. I'm more worried about
the bizarreness of it as it will certainly trip up other developers. For a
little more context, we were using it in our JSON API and returning "{}"
for a 200 response. We changed this to a 204 later on and thought nothing
of it - to our surprise.
I do think this looks like additional handling / validation for 204. The
lowest hanging fruit would be a warning in the documentation but it
wouldn't be as effective. The issue is too innocuous for someone to
suspect a 2xx status code as the root cause.
In any case, thank you both for taking a look! Let me know if I can assist
in any way.
