Eric Jain commented on STR-2119:
--------------------------------
> Last I checked, IE 6 and earlier used to display its own error page for 4xx,
> *unless* the returned entity was longer than a certain length.
That's a good point against making a 40x status code the default -- for now.
However, it might still make sense to make setting a custom response code for
validation errors a bit less painful than it is now, where you have to copy a
lot of code from the processValidate method when overriding it in order to set
a status code!
> Return appropriate status code when form validation fails

> Assignee: Paul Benedict
> Priority: Minor

> When redisplaying a form after validation has indicated a failure, a status
> code
> such as "400 Bad Request" should be used in place of "200 OK". This simplifies
> testing, and is important for applications that need to interact with the web
> interface of an application directly.
