switch a survey to "inactive" status at a point in time. This is

feel that an immediate error message when they try to submit the
obsolescent data will save a lot of trouble and misunderstanding later.My prototype server tries to send some message text with the html
response, but ODK Collect (v1.4) does not display it -- it only displays
the number and description of the status code.I am searching for the best status code to send from the server when
rejecting the data. Clearly the 400 range is called for, an indication that
something serious is wrong with the data coming from the client. My best
guess is status 406 (Not Acceptable).Will this design work in the field?
