When I delete a style or layer using the GeoServer REST API, it returns a 404
whenever the style or layer no longer exists on the server.
In my opinion, it should only return a 404 if the URL is non-existing. For
example, if the style resides within a workspace, it would be fine to return a
404 if the workspace name in the URL contained a typo.
404's are also fine when doing GET/POST/PUT requests on layers or styles that
do not exist.
However, when I do a DELETE and get a 404, there's no way to tell if the
resource simply does not exist (anymore) on the server, or that I made a typo
in the URL.
I would like to propose to return a *410 (
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/410 )* instead in this
case:
>
>
>
> 410 Gone
>
>
>
> This response is sent when the requested content has been permanently
> deleted from server, with no forwarding address. Clients are expected to
> remove their caches and links to the resource. The HTTP specification
> intends this status code to be used for "limited-time, promotional
> services". APIs should not feel compelled to indicate resources that have
> been deleted with this status code.
>
>
Please let me know your thoughts on this matter.
