I think I've figured out why
http:200 ERROR
Is sometimes returned from some APIs... Sort of legit

    Does it have a success flag set to false?

    @asgs yeah.

    Some NW infras/WAFs might have global rules to return an ERROR html if a webapp returns anything but 200. Especially in old, legacy infras where all the content used to be html-only. So until all the webapps are taught to handle errors correctly infra might not want to lift the non-200-err-page.html rule. Until then you still have to deliver and the success flag is a viable workaround along with the always-200 http code
