POST /secrets/mycontainer returns a 409 Conflict if mycontainer already exists. But since the request doesn't take any additional parameters, there's really no conflict.
I suggest instead returning a 200 OK to make the API a bit more "RESTful". Users could still distinguish whether the container already existed by checking for 200 OK vs 201 Created.
