Benjamin Mahler created MESOS-6220:
--------------------------------------
Summary: HTTP handler failures should result in 500 response
rather than 503 response.
Key: MESOS-6220
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6220
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: libprocess
Reporter: Benjamin Mahler
Priority: Minor
Currently, when an HTTP handler fails, libprocess will send a {{503 Service
Unavailable}} (see
[here|https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/8322b403cbaa1ace61733b61d4325ec6ee808ffd/3rdparty/libprocess/src/process.cpp#L1232-L1234].
However, more appropriate would be to send a {{500 Internal Server Error}}
given the documented behavior of these statuses:
*500 Internal Server Error*
A generic error message, given when an unexpected condition was encountered and
no more specific message is suitable.
*503 Service Unavailable*
The server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for
maintenance). Generally, this is a temporary state.
