Picoweb should return correct status for bad UML

Question

picoweb is a great new feature, speeds up image generation, from 3.5s to 0.1s when starting planuml from scratch - many thanks.

I only have one issue, an image is returned when the supplied uml generated errors, the image contains the error message. Is it possible to either, return a HTTP status code and the error text or at the very least a header value that signifies failure, so I do not save a bad image

Cheers

Kevin

Thanks for the feedback: it's good to know that it's useful :-)

We handle HTTP answer better in very last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar

Tell us if it helps!

Thanks

With the beta version:

• When the UML is bad I get a 400 status and message of ERROR, which is great!
• When the UML is good, I get a 0 status, and message of ERROR

With the original version:

•     status is always 200, message is always OK

Many thanks, as ever, for the speedy work.

Too speedy this time :-)

So we've just fixed the HTTP status issue in last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar

Note that there are some non-standard HTTP headers in the answer (X-PlantUML-Diagram-Width/X-PlantUML-Diagram-Height/X-PlantUML-Diagram-Description and X-PlantUML-Diagram-Error/X-PlantUML-Diagram-Error-Line for error) which may be useful.

Thanks for your tests!

This is all good and I can confirm that it works!

Many thanks
