Hi all
Betreff: [Zope-dev] Request input on bug about HTTP response.setStatus
Hi all. There's some disagreement about how to resolve the bug below, even though there's agreement that we want it resolved. Your input would be appreciated so we can find a consensus and move forward with a solution.
As far as I can see, we all agree that we need to be able to use new response status. And the question is, should we be able to use them ad hoc or do we need to declare them first. In programming language normaly you can just use things. But a framework like a server must be configured first befor you can use new things. I think it's a question if the response setStatus is a kind of the server as a framework or if this is just another python method. As far as I can tell, I personaly like to use setStatus(209) and I whould be surprised if something other then 209 get returned as 209 by getStatus() (as shane told). another solution could be to introduce an additional argument. (seatbelt) e.g. def setStatus(status, force=False): if force: # don't fallback to status 500 else: # fallback to 500 if given status doesn't exist Anyway, Python is a bike and java is a car. Because why? Java has built in seatbelts and airbags and Python is light and fast. Regards Roger Ineichen
