Auto Responses

To help you do HTTP well, Serviceberry responds automatically in the following sitations.

Auto Error Statuses

Handlers will be executed as normal so plugins (for example logging and error handling) will still run.

• 404 Not Found

  When no route is found.

• 405 Method Not Allowed

  When an implementation of the request method does not exist.

• 406 Not Acceptable

  When an implementation producing an acceptable content type does not exist.

• 415 Unsupported Media Type

  When an implementation consuming the request content type does not exist.

• 500 Internal Server Error

  When an unhandled exception occurs.

• 503 Service Unavailable

  When a request times out.

Auto Methods

To override these auto methods, implement your own OPTI0NS and HEAD handlers.

• OPTIONS

  Any request path that implements methods will respond to OPTIONS requests with a status of 204 No Content and an Allow header. All plugins and coping in the queue will be executed as usual.

• HEAD

  Any request path that implements a GET method will respond to HEAD requests with the head written while executing all the handlers in the GET queue.
