[Resteasy-developers] Proper handling of NotModified/304

[Sean D. <sea...@gm...>]

I posted this on users but I'm thinking it's a RestEasy bug at this point.

The code seems to buffer the entity and then throw a processing exception
if the status is bad.

In the case of 304, no body is provided (and this seems to be correct
according to the standard).  I have found no way server side to return
anything but null as the entity.  So attempting to buffer it on a 304 just
seems plain incorrect (and results in an NPE).

Am I missing something?

Setting the custom header on the response does work - but I'm not sure
that'll make it back to the client when it passes through servers that
usually strip those out.
