That is exactly what we do. We return a HTTP status, but in addition, we return a JSON encoded body with our internal status code, and description. The question is more about the cleanest and easiest way to maintain this as the HTTP status is determined by our internal status code (which is far more fine grained than what we can achieve with only a HTTP status). I'm trying to find the cleanest way to implement a reference to our internal status code so that we can also extract the other information (i.e. HTTP status, and description) from our status code.
