Hello Everyone:
I'm writing a backend of sorts, and want to send out the correct
header if a client sends a request that isn't correctly formed.
For example, say a valid request is
file.ext?op=beta
and someone requests file.ext?op=lalalala
I want to send out 400 Bad Request (is this the right response?), but
how would I actually send that out? Using PHP, you can write custom
headers using the header() function, and at first glance, this would
seem like :
header('Bad Request',true,400);
Is this correct? Not really familiar with HTTP status codes.
Thanks for any hints,
Burhan
