What HTTP status code should I return when a POST request is made to my RESTful API but the content in the POST field (let’s say an XML) is invalid?
I would like to build a proper RESTful web service so I want to know.
I am now returning 405 when a HTTP method not supported by specific API is used, 200 when everything goes ok and 500 for all other errors (XML validation error etc).
Thank you.
I would respond with 400
