SlingPostServlet: Return standards complying status code and headers by default
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-422
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-422
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Post Servlets
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
Assignee: Felix Meschberger
Fix For: 2.0.0
As discussed in [1]: The SlingPostServlet should be default return the correct
HTTP status code and response header(s) instead of 200. The XHTML response
should still be sent. So we come to three cases:
(1) Default: Status code as per the standard with XHTML response containing
further details
(2) "Browser-Friendly": Status code 200 with XHTML response containing actual
status code and further details
(3) Redirect: redirect to another location
Note, that (1) and (2) are almost identical, except for the HTTP status code
being set.
(3) takes place if the :redirect request parameter is set and the processing is
successful. In particular a redirect will not be sent in case an error occurrs
while processing the request even though the :redirect parameter may be set.
(1) or (2) take place in case of a processing error or if the :redirect
parameter is not set. The distinction between (1) and (2) happens according to
the :status parameter. If the parameter is set to "alwayok" (2) takes place.
Otherwise (1) takes place.
