Assignee: Srinivas
> When returning HTTP code 403 a description should be given
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-4448
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4448
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: general
> Affects Versions: 0.26.0
> Reporter: Alexander Rojas
> Assignee: Srinivas
> Priority: Trivial
>
> According with the HTTP Specification in [RFC-2616 Section
> 10.4.4|http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.4]:
> {quote}
> If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why
> the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the
> refusal in the entity. If the server does not wish to make this information
> available to the client, the status code 404 (Not Found) can be used instead.
> {quote}
> The definition of SHOULD in [RFC-2119|https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt]
> states:
> {quote}
> This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there may exist valid
> reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full
> implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a
> different course.
> {quote}
> That means that either each instance of returning {{http::Forbidden}} needs
> to add a message in the body, or return 404 instead. If none of this apply,
> it should be good to at least add a comment on why no body was added to the
> reply.
> The places in need of an update are:
> {noformat}
> src/master/http.cpp
> 789: return Forbidden();
> 880: return Forbidden();
> 1209: return Forbidden();
> 1854: return Forbidden();
> 2482: return Forbidden();
> src/master/quota_handler.cpp
> 344: return Forbidden();
> 453: return Forbidden();
> {noformat}
