Rocket should show 405 instead of 404 for method not allowed #1224
Description
Hi.
Consider the following route:
#[post("/hello")]
pub fn hello() -> &'static str {
"Hello"
}now, if you call it with:
curl http://localhost:8000/helloit returns:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head>
<body align="center">
<div align="center">
<h1>404: Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested resource could not be found.</p>
<hr />
<small>Rocket</small>
</div>
</body>
</html>
however, since the passed URL is correct and only the method (verb) is wrong, according to rfc7231#section-6.5.5, it should return 405: Method Not Allowed with an Allow header field in a 405 response containing a list of the target resource's currently supported methods.
So, if you don't agree with that, could you provide a global option to send 405 instead of 404 for handling method not allowed errors?
TIA
