[erlang-questions] erlang-questions Digest, Vol 117, Issue 3

[Phillips, Christopher]

  I'm not looking too closely at the errors, so this may not be all you
need, but, all of the REST callbacks can return a tuple of {halt,
Response, State}, which is the correct idiom to use when you want to stop
the REST handler from continuing (so in your code you'd return {halt,
Resp3, State}). 

  That said, you may want to look at the REST handler's flow logic; there
is a path that will automatically return a 201 if you opt to use it (I
don't recall it offhand, and it may be that migrating to use it is more
effort than just halting with a 201).

  If the former doesn't address everything, and the latter isn't feasible
(or you have questions about it), consider signing up for and asking on
the 99s mailing list, extend@REDACTED
