> Currently, when an HTTP handler fails, libprocess will send a {{503 Service Unavailable}} (see [here|https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/8322b403cbaa1ace61733b61d4325ec6ee808ffd/3rdparty/libprocess/src/process.cpp#L1232-L1234].
> However, more appropriate would be to send a {{500 Internal Server Error}} given the documented behavior of these statuses:
> *500 Internal Server Error*
> A generic error message, given when an unexpected condition was encountered and no more specific message is suitable.
> *503 Service Unavailable*
> The server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance). Generally, this is a temporary state.
