[Building Sakai] EntityBroker returning 200 instead of 204

[Aaron Zeckoski]

For the 5 main CRUD operations (this one you mention is one of them)
the semantics are fairly locked down in order to try to match the
convention here:
http://microformats.org/wiki/rest/urls

However, if you really want to you can always get the response and
request objects and do anything you like to them. In some cases
though, this is going to interfere with what the system us trying to
do and it will overwrite what you tried to do so I don't think that
will work here.

The other alternative is to implement something in the before and
after hooks (probably after in your case):
