[Hawkular-dev] REST ideas

[Michael Burman]

Hi,

What's very important is that we don't try to redefine HTTP error codes. 
If there's an error code for it, then it should be used and it should be 
enough in most cases for the client to understand what happened.

I've seen some horrible APIs, which return generic error code and one 
should read the returned error message to understand what's wrong. 
That's not how a REST-interface should work.
