Hi all guys,
I recently started playing with Geoserver REST APIs - nice work! - I got anyway 
some troubles with response statuses:

 * when authentication fails, API replies with 400 Bad Request. I took a while 
before understanding that was a problem of authentication and not of how I 
submitted the request, wouldn't be wiser changing it to 401 Unauthorized?

 * when creating a workspace, if the workspace is already present, Geosever 
replies with 500 Internal Server Error - again, wouldn't be wiser changing it 
to a different one like 409 Conflict? It would help clients discriminating 
situations when the server is really broken to when the resource has been 
already created!

Thoughts?
Many thanks in advance, all the best!!!
Simo
