HTTP REST inconsistency: create should return HTTP 201

[fabien]

Apparently, POST /api/things returns HTTP 200 - however, 201 is the right code.

I agree that POST for creation should return HTTP 201. In addition, there should be a 'Location' header with a URL points to the instance being created, for example:

Location: http://localhost:3000/api/things/1

Since it will be a breaking change, we'll probably have to fix it in 2.x stream.

Hey guys,

Any news on this issue?

I could probably provide a PR for it but I would need some pointers on where the changes should be made.

up!

Should be so:
POST /api/things returns HTTP 201
PUT /api/things/:id returns HTTP 200
GET /api/things/:id returns HTTP 200
GET /api/things returns HTTP 200 or 206 if need "Range"
DELETE /api/things/:id returns HTTP 204
