Pet peeve: 4xx are supposed to be *transient* errors; it's the 5xx series that are hard errors. The convention goes back before the Internet, and HTTP had to go and get it wrong. There's a complete list of first-digit meanings in RFC 821 or 822 (whichever is about the transport protocol instead of the message format; I can never keep them straight). Also, there's a secondary convention for how to deliver a verbose diagnostic: you don't do it with its own code, you do it like this 500-An error occurred. 500-I'm not going to tell you what kind of error. 500 So nyah. zw _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
