REST API Improvements
REST API calls that take resource IDs, whether on the URL or in a JSON payload, have been
improved in two ways.
1. The existence of the resource represented by the ID is now verified. If it doesn't exist, a
HTTP status code of either 403 or 404 is returned. Previously the result was undefined
and varied depending upon the call made.
Note: Calls that accept a variable number of resource IDs are not subject to this change
for performance reasons, as this would require all resources be loaded upfront for
validation.
2. Many errors are now reported using a standard JSON format.
Note: Most such error messages are not translated.
Logging Improvements
l Improved error/warning logging in Live mode. (SHARED-49046)
l Extra preferences added to allow greater control over logging levels. (SHARED-63923)
