I can't believe you guys are debating the correct HTTP return code for a joke service? Besides, it's obviously 200.

These provide great opportunities for better understanding return codes.

Besides, for POST it is obviously 202 ACCEPTED

Does it discard data in a manner compliant with FIPS 140-2? Or NIST SP800-88?
Wait... is it a joke?
I hope not, I've been depending on this service for a while. I have it integrated via FUSE on my prod servers.

We did have some problems of blocking on large files, which is less than ideal for a /dev/null service.

After dealing with their customer support (which has been super helpful), we are looking to move to a named pipe / FIFO.. Which will non-block and cache lolcally, with a watcher service to push it to their site.

Happy Customer, A+++, would recommend.

Well with the planned dev/random support, this is going to kick ass.
