Re: Lookup API >> no Return Code 400?

[Sam Cleaver]

Technically that's allowed, the developer guide states that you'll only get 400 if the HTTP request itself is malformed, it doesn't return 400 if specifically the URL is malformed/doesn't exist. 

So.. 204 would be correct as nonsenseurl wouldn't be in the GSB database and therefore safe.

Hi all,

for some kind of 'Link-List', i use the Lookup-API to quick check the user submitted links by fetching the return code.
Everything seemed to work fine: I get a 204 code for "good" URLs, 200 for "ianfette.org".

But when submitting absolute nonsense, or incorrect URLs, the response is 204 as well, instead of 400.

Example:

https://sb-ssl.google.com/safebrowsing/api/lookup?client=api&apikey=123456MYKEY&appver=1.0&pver=3.0&url=nonsenseurl 

>> returns 204

Does anybody know, why this happens?
