Wouldn't "409 Conflict" be more appropriate?

Wouldn't "409 Conflict" be more appropriate?
- exikyut 5y agoSomething something plausible deniability - that's a tad close to 410 Gone, and noone really wants to go there...
- vbezhenar 5y ago4xx codes indicate a permanent error condition. 409 conflict sounds like very pessimistic scenario.
- unilynx 5y ago4xx indicate client errors (you need to change you request). 5xx are server errors. "410 Gone" would be a 'permanent' error.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> 4xx codes indicate a permanent error condition. Not necessarily, and especially not 409 Conflict, which “indicates that the request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the target resource.” “Current state” being often mutable, 409 is not generally permanent. 410 Gone is permanent.
