Status Code (-SC or -STATUS_CODE)

The -STATUS_CODE option returns an HTTP status code through the HTTP listener to the external HTTP client that requested a particular URL. The HTTP status code is associated with one or more map return codes. You can customize the HTTP status codes or use the default codes defined in the [M4HTTP] section of the hip_install_dir/dtx.ini configuration file.

Option: Description
map_return_code: The numeric code indicating the map execution result. See the Map Designer description of map execution and warning messages for a list of execution codes.
HTTP_status_code: An official HTTP status code maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

To specify multiple map return code/HTTP status code combinations on a single -STATUS_CODE keyword, separate each combination with a comma (,) character. For example:

-STATUS_CODE “30 = 400 Bad Request, 12 = 404 Not Found”

To link multiple map return codes to a single HTTP status code, delineate each map code with a colon (:) character. For example:

-STATUS_CODE “8:9:30 = 400 Bad Request"
