[erlang-questions] Rest endpoint behaving strangely

[Loïc Hoguin]

See 
http://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/1.0/guide/rest_flowcharts/#put,_post_and_patch_methods 
for details as to why you get a status code instead of another.

I'm not entirely sure the diagram is clear enough though. What status 
code is returned depends on what you return from the callback, what 
method it is, whether there's a body in the response and whether the 
resource existed previously. The diagram is at least missing the case 
where the resource didn't exist and the method is PUT, where you get a 201.
