I am trying to determine the rules of engagement when you use an ESRI REST service
I issue the following request
rest/services/Utilities/Geometry/GeometryServer/simplify?sr=4283&geometries=%7b%22geometryType%22%3a%22esriGeometryPolygon%22%2c%22geometries%22%3a%5b%7b%22rings%22%3a%5b%5b%5b123.83226587344406%2c-28.061656435295191%5d%2c%5b123.83226587344406%2c-28.008807755308091%5d%2c%5b123.88049895044182%2c-28.008807755308091%5d%2c%5b123.88049895044182%2c-28.061656435295191%5d%2c%5b123.83226587344406%2c-28.061656435295191%5d%5d%5d%7d%5d%7d&f=json"
It normally returns statuscode of 200 and a json string containing a polygon
every now and again (perhaps 1 in a 1000, 1 in 1000000) it returns the following
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000;includeSubDomains Vary: Accept-Encoding Cache-Control: private,no-store,no-cache Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Date: Sun, 30 Jun 2019 11:00:21 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0 X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Set-Cookie: ZNPCQ003-32383000=6f2aa75d; Path=/; Domain=.dmp.wa.gov.au; HttpOnly Via: 1.1 gissdi.dmp.wa.gov.au (Access Gateway-ag-683BD5D4662193FD-9926260) Content-Length: 7293
ArcGIS Web Adaptor
| Could not access any server machines. Please contact your system administrator. |
Leaving aside the obvious error that has occurred somewhere between the ArcGIS WebAdapter and the server machine. (although any clues would be appreciated!)
- Is it valid to return a status code of 200 and not honour the f=json
- Or is it OK to return status code of 200 and override the format with ‘Content-Type: text/html’
The answers to these questions go the heart of how code should check the response from a REST call
My expectation was that a code of 200 says that the request has been accepted and processed and that the result of that processing (including possible errors) is contained in a json construct.
