Description: On error we return html instead of json. This causes trouble to some javascript clients, although errors can usually be handled through their http code gracefully. Would still be nice to return proper json on error.

Comment: A webservice call can legitimately and correctly return an HTTP status code with accompanying html. A client should be able to handle these codes.
