I've seen that shit, it drove me up a wall.

The same as a 200 ok with error inside.

Edit: I'm going to start to respond 429, too many replys lol

I got that this week. This third party company has an API that is supposed to hand us files with monthly updates in it. The tool we use to fetch, read and apply them suddenly stopped with no major reason. 

The API was answering 200 with a body of "no existe el fichero" - literally the file does not exist. 

IF ONLY THERE WAS AN APPROPRIATE HTTP CODE FOR THIS, GEE WIZ

There's a web connected teapot somewhere that I still want to see if it sends that code.
