Hi Anthony, I discovered the problem with the 200 code. It was a basically a cut and paste error. The code I was using had a try-except block wrapping the body of the POST handler method, which looks like: try: ... except Exception as e: return str(e)
I removed the exception and things behave as expected. Sorry for the wasted bandwidth.
