What is the appropriate response to a POST request which tries to post to a resource that already exists, but should not be modified by that user? |
| 16:23 |
|
sd512 |
*"that user" being the user that initiated the request |
| 16:25 |
|
asdf |
i'd say conflict |
| 16:26 |
|
asdf |
and the ACL issue is really unrelated, that only would result in a 401/403 when actually updating |
| 16:26 |
|
asdf |
(401 i guess since you said "that" user) |
| 16:27 |
|
asdf |
but when trying to create, the error that the thing already exists, is a 409 conflict (possibly include a helpful error message) |
| 16:29 |
|
sd512 |
asdf, Thanks! What do you mean by ACL? |
| 16:30 |
|
asdf |
uh, i mean the permissions issue; that the part where you try to POST, ie. create, but it already exists - is one issue; but the part where, if the user were to update instead, but doesnt have permissions for that - is another |
| 16:32 |
|
sd512 |
so acl = access control layer? |
| 16:32 |
|
asdf |
right (or access control list) |
| 16:32 |
|
sd512 |
ah. right. ok thanks |
| 16:33 |
|
asdf |
hmm, but i think you mean, your program also does updates by POST? and you send a POST directly to the updeated resource, and that means "update", not "create"? |
| 16:34 |
|
asdf |
that's not really ideal, instead use PUT for updates (or PATCH if you want to support that) |
| 16:34 |
|
sd512 |
ah, no, I am talking about resource creation |
| 16:34 |
|
asdf |
ah, cool |

They should get a 403 -- unauthorized. |
| 17:41 |
|
asdf |
shouldn't they get a 401, if some other user would be allowed to perform the action? |
| 17:41 |
|
asdf |
i think that was the reasoning - "you can't do that, but some other account can, so go ahead and relog" |
| 17:42 |

|
whartung |
yea, 401 |
| 17:44 |
|
asdf |
oh right, you said "unauthorized", not "forbidden" :) |
| 17:44 |
|
whartung |
I mean, the two are kind of a mess |
| 17:44 |
|
asdf |
i think with the reasoning above, there arent really many cases where 403 would be used |
| 17:44 |
|
whartung |
yea |
| 17:45 |
|
asdf |
because usually there's a superuser or something that you could potentially switch to |
