ACK.

There are actually some issues that need further discussion:

1. Should we use HTTP 409 (Conflict) for errors caused by entry already 
exists?

2. If the request is OK but the server won't execute an operation (e.g. 
profile status doesn't allow it), should we return HTTP 403 (Forbidden)? 
Or maybe HTTP 422 (Unprocessable Entity)?
