mdeuser opened a new issue #2237: web action should not return 200 status on action error
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/issues/2237
 
 
   ## Environment details:
   
   * local deployment, vagrant
   
   ## Steps to reproduce the issue:
   
   1.   Create an action called testrej with `function main(m) { return Promise.reject({error:'bad news!'}); }`
   2.   Invoke as regular action: `wsk action invoke testrej -b -v`
   3.   Invoke as web action: `curl -v http://YOURHOST/api/v1/experimental/web/guest/default/testrej.json`
   4.  Observe the HTTP response code in (2) and (3)
   
   ## Provide the expected results and outputs:
   
   Both response codes are 502
   
   ## Provide the actual results and outputs:
   
   Response code for (2) is 502.  Response code for (3) is 200
   
   ## Additional information you deem important:
   * Possibly a related issue.. actions invoked as standard actions have their `return Promise.reject(string)` results automatically encapsulated into the appropriate activation JSON structure for consumption by the caller. However, when the same action is invoked as a .json web action, the response code is 400 (not valid application/json) - having a similar automatic encapsulation for strings (and even objects) would be helpful (i.e. `{ error: RESPONSE}`) with 502 status code.
