Comment (by jankadlec):

 Hi @TimothyBlynJacobs


 The purpose of a GET method is to retrieve a resource. So, while allowed,
 an HTTP 204 is no the best choice since content IS expected in the
 response.

 The RFC also specifically calls out an HTTP 204 as an appropriate response
 for PUT, POST and DELETE, but omits it for GET.

 see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-9.3

 Best Regards

 Jan
