GETting empty directories should return an empty object instead of an empty response #3

Closed nilclass closed 11 years ago

From 2012.04#GET:

A GET to an empty/absent directory should return a 200 status with a "{}" in the body, rather than a 404 status.

I've just been updating reStore to the draft-00 spec, which states:

Empty folders are treated as non-existing, and therefore GET requests to them SHOULD be responded to with a 404 response

It previously implemented the 2012.04 design. I've not found the new changes to cause problems with the client. Have you?

They caused problems for me, but I changed remoteStorage.js to work both ways, so it doesn't really matter.
