---------------------------------

             Summary: Sling POST servlet responds with 500 if target is not modifiable
                 Key: SLING-9441
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-9441
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Servlets
    Affects Versions: Servlets Post 2.3.36
            Reporter: Lars Krapf


In case a POST is attempted to a node that the request session does not have write access to, the POST servlets throws a 500, e.g.

{code}
04.05.2020 21:34:09.162 *ERROR* [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [1588628049158] POST /content/cmo/us/en/home/users/geometrixx/james.devore@spambob.com/fSPiyhliJm HTTP/1.1] org.apache.sling.servlets.post.impl.operations.ModifyOperation Exception during response processing.

org.apache.sling.api.resource.PersistenceException: Unable to create node at /content/cmo/us/en/home/users

 at org.apache.sling.jcr.resource.internal.helper.jcr.JcrResourceProvider.create(JcrResourceProvider.java:477) [org.apache.sling.jcr.resource:3.0.20]
{code}

Since this is actually a client error I think a 4xx response would be better suited, and make it more obvious that such errors can be safely ignored when doing health monitoring.
