[erlang-questions] Cowboy REST POST and custom status code

[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<mailto:extend@REDACTED>.

How can I set status code in my REST POST handler.

Now I'm doing this

make_post(Req, State) ->
  lager:info("post"),
  Resp = cowboy_req:set_resp_body(<<"HELLO POST\n">>, Req),
  {ok, Resp3} = cowboy_req:reply(201, Resp),
  {true, Resp3, State}.

But I receive such errors:
