[twitter-dev] Request for posting to list memberships - error codes

2009-11-13 Thread Tim Haines
Hey Twitter crew, When trying to add a user to a list it makes sense if a 404 is returned (I think) both if the user isn't found, or if the list (id or slug) isn't found. It would be cool if the content of the response could say whether it was the user or list that wasn't found. Cheers, Tim.

Hey Marcel, Just checking - You haven't rolled this change yet right?: /:user/lists/:list_id/memberships becomes /:user/lists/:list_id/followers It seems attempting to follow a user who doesn't exist (through the members post) results in a 500 at the moment, rather than a 404. Tim. On Thu,
