Benjamin Mahler reassigned MESOS-6220:
--------------------------------------
Assignee: Benjamin Mahler
> 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
> Assignee: 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.
