Merb devel - Dec 2007 - How to set response code

Hi !

I''m trying to return a simple 201 Created status to the caller, but I 
can''t seem to do it.  I use curl from the command line with the 
--verbose option, and the response is really 200 OK.

My controller code:

class Observations < Application
   def create(feature, node, observation_type)
     # Do some work...

     response.status = "201 Created"
     ""
   end
end

And the curl output:

$ curl -v http://localhost:4000/observations -d feature=www -d 
node=andromede -d observation_type=mem:used -d value=632243
* About to connect() to localhost port 4000 (#0)
*   Trying 127.0.0.1... connected
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 4000 (#0)
 > POST /observations HTTP/1.1
 > User-Agent: curl/7.16.4 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.16.4 
OpenSSL/0.9.8e zlib/1.2.3.3 libidn/1.0
 > Host: localhost:4000

< Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 14:51:30 GMT
< Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
< Content-Length: 0
<
* Closing connection #0

The controller code is executed no problem, but I''m just wondering
about
that status code.

Thanks !

Excellent !  That works just fine.  Now that you mention it, I obviously 
found http://merb.rubyforge.org/classes/Merb/RenderMixin.html#M000175, 
but the documentation is, shall we say, absent.

I''ll submit a patch to the Trac.

Thanks !
