Re: [keycloak-user] 500 HTTP Response Code Usage

Hi all, I'm having some issues in which Keycloak throws 500 responses for what, IMHO, should be a non-500 HTTP status code. For instance, take the following request: http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/master/protocol/saml/clients/null Keycloak returns a HTTP Status code of 500, with a text error message that says "Client not found." Seems like a textbook case for a HTTP 404 response code. The reason I ask is that we were hoping to use status codes for some monitoring and even traffic shaping + health analysis type things and have found them unreliable as an indicator of server function/health. Instead, 500's are also used when clients behave poorly (as in the example above) and do things like request non-existent clients, use bad parameters, or the like. Shouldn't this classification of errors use 4XX response codes? Is the team open to cleaning these up?
