--- Comment #9 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> --- My reading of RFC 4918 is if we have a status code for baz it should be 424. Quoting from RFC 2119: SHOULD NOT This phrase, or the phrase "NOT RECOMMENDED" mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances when the particular behavior is acceptable or even useful, but the full implications should be understood and the case carefully weighed before implementing any behavior described with this label. If we have valid reasons to include a status code it should be 424. My preference is for your counter proposal to add a comment and continue to omit the status for parent resources in this case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
