I made changes so that Stratos REST API adhere to the HTTP specification.
Given below are some of the examples.
*GET *
Header 200 with response body containing the data.
Return 204 if no content found with the given url.
*POST *
POST - 201
Return 201 when the resource is created and URL to t
+1 for this change. We can use a standard way to do this, such as returning
a 'Response' type [1].

Hi Dakshita,
I am really worried about the structure of the response rather than what
values it should output. What I wanted to tell is every API call should
send response adhering to that format regardless of the fields it has.
For a REST client for Stratos, http status code is important in very
There are some instances we need to have HTTP status + attribute details on

*409 conflict: *can return in different scenarios, so we need to implement
some differentiation mechanism

Udara, there are few other important points:
* Introduce versioning to the API and preserve v1.0 released with Stratos
4.0.0 for a certain time period.
* introduce token based authentication.
May be we could do these with separate tasks.
Thanks

HI,
Currently different REST API methods sends response in different formats.
Some API methods have Response as the return type and some have Response.
IMO it is better if all the API methods fallow the same format. For
