changing status code when it's not part of the result

[Chizever]

Hi,

I have a virtual path which returns two results: content-type followed by document.
This allows me to return text/xml, text/html, or application/json as needed.

In all these cases the return status is 200 OK, I'm not returning either Status-code or Reason-phrase.

I now realize that I sometimes want to return a status of 401 Unauthorized.

Question 1: Is there a way to set the status code without changing my virtual path definition?
It would be a lot easier for me to do something like:

Code: Select all

'#' ⎕wi 'Notify' '<aplresult><aplmethod>Status-code</aplmethod><apldata>401</apldata></aplresult>'

when it's needed instead of changing the virtual path definition and having my functions return the status code (which is mostly 200).


Question 2:
If I change my virtual path result to include Status-code but not Reason-phrase, will the header show the correct reason?
Is the reason phrase only if I want to give my own message and not the standard one assigned to that status?

Thanks,
Brian

I've only ever had a virtual path definition that returned all the different items that I make use of, including status code, redirects, and cookies. I haven't seen any alternatives, but I'm still using a very old version.
