我会选择422不可处理实体，当请求无效时使用，但问题不在于语法或身份验证。

作为反对其他答案的论据，使用任何非4xx错误代码将暗示它不是客户端错误，而它显然是。使用非4xx错误代码来表示客户端错误完全没有意义。

It seems that 409 Conflict is the most common answer here, but, according to the spec, that implies that the resource already exists and the new data you are applying to it is incompatible with its current state. If you are sending a POST request, with, for example, a username that is already taken, it's not actually conflicting with the target resource, as the target resource (the resource you're trying to create) has not yet been posted. It's an error specifically for version control, when there is a conflict between the version of the resource stored and the version of the resource requested. It's very useful for that purpose, for example when the client has cached an old version of the resource and sends a request based on that incorrect version which would no longer be conditionally valid. "In this case, the response representation would likely contain information useful for merging the differences based on the revision history." The request to create another user with that username is just unprocessable, having nothing to do with any version conflict.

“302 Found”对我来说听起来合乎逻辑。RFC 2616说除了GET和HEAD之外，它还可以被其他请求回答(当然也包括POST)

但是它仍然让访问者通过RFC访问这个URL来获得这个“已找到”的资源。为了使它直接指向真正的“Found”URL，应该使用“303 See Other”，这是有意义的，但强制另一个调用GET它后面的URL。好的方面是，这个GET是可缓存的。

我想我会用“303 See Other”。我不知道我是否可以响应在主体中发现的“东西”，但我想这样做，以节省到服务器的一次往返。

更新:在重新阅读RFC后，我仍然认为不存在的“4XX+303 Found”代码应该是正确的。然而，“409冲突”是现有的最好的答案代码(正如@ wrkken指出的那样)，可能包括指向现有资源的Location头。

I think for REST, you just have to make a decision on the behavior for that particular system in which case, I think the "right" answer would be one of a couple answers given here. If you want the request to stop and behave as if the client made a mistake that it needs to fix before continuing, then use 409. If the conflict really isn't that important and want to keep the request going, then respond by redirecting the client to the entity that was found. I think proper REST APIs should be redirecting (or at least providing the location header) to the GET endpoint for that resource following a POST anyway, so this behavior would give a consistent experience.

EDIT: It's also worth noting that you should consider a PUT since you're providing the ID. Then the behavior is simple: "I don't care what's there right now, put this thing there." Meaning, if nothing is there, it'll be created; if something is there it'll be replaced. I think a POST is more appropriate when the server manages that ID. Separating the two concepts basically tells you how to deal with it (i.e. PUT is idempotent so it should always work so long as the payload validates, POST always creates, so if there is a collision of IDs, then a 409 would describe that conflict).

我觉得你不应该这么做。

如您所知，POST用于修改集合，并用于CREATE一个新项。所以，如果你发送id(我认为这不是一个好主意)，你应该修改集合，即，修改项目，但这是令人困惑的。

使用它添加一个项目，没有id。这是最好的做法。

如果您想捕获一个UNIQUE约束(而不是id)，您可以响应409，就像在PUT请求中一样。但不是身份证。

更有可能是400个坏请求

[* * 6.5.1。400错误请求**][1]

400(坏请求)状态代码表示服务器不能或 将不会处理请求由于某些东西被认为是 客户端错误(例如，格式错误的请求语法，无效的请求 消息框架，或欺骗性请求路由)。

由于请求包含重复的值(已经存在的值)，因此可以将其视为客户机错误。需要在下次尝试之前更改请求。 通过考虑这些事实，我们可以得出HTTP STATUS 400错误请求的结论。
