If I've got an endpoint of:

    https://example.com/rpc

What response would you expect if the wrong scheme was used by
mistake?

    http://example.com/rpc

Is there a any one correct answer according to the spec?

A 404 HTTP response with text/html response (ignoring the fact that it
was an XML-RPC request)?

A 302 with a Location: header to the https endpoint?

A 200 response with a fault string?


What do most client libraries do if the HTTP response is not 200?  Will
they not parse the body?  Or does it depend on the content-type of the
response?
