What's an appropriate HTTP status code to return by a REST API service for a validation failure?
- by michaeljoseph
I'm currently returning 401 Unauthorized whenever I encounter a validation failure in my Django/Piston based REST API application.
Having had a look at the HTTP Status Code Registry
I'm not convinced that this is an appropriate code for a validation failure, what do y'all recommend?
400 Bad Request
401 Unauthorized
403 Forbidden…
