MinimalConformance100501 expected status code

Open mikewatt opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

The MinimalConformance100501 rule appears to expect an HTTP 415 in response to a GET request with unknown or unsupported format parameters in the accept header [1]. I don't believe the required HTTP response status code is stipulated in the OData spec, but a much more appropriate response code would be HTTP 406 [2], and this test should at least accept both.

We have run into this as we have a service (based on Apache Olingo) failing this rule.
