Title
Body
So send a few different status headers in my API including 404 , 409 , 201 , 302 and the like. Now I'm running into issues with 401 Unauthorized . I'm currently sending it if a user is not logged in (the entire API is rights managed) or if a user doesn't satisfy the specific access requirements for the particular resource being retrieved/modified. Now, I also control the frontend client (a jQuery/HTML application), and I'd like to differentiate between the two cases for 401 . Is there a distinct status I should be using for not logged in? Is the best way to handle it to send body content alongside the header?
