Previously, bots could and would stuff this form value with all kinds of nonsense, triggering a server error (and subsequent alert emails). Supersedes jazzband#47

If a client requests a non-existing step it technically is a BadRequest but there are situations in which it is not the client's fault. For example, if conditional steps are involved and a condition for a step is not met anymore although a client already began a session in which they are currently at the now missing step In this case I personally find it more helpful to redirect the client to the first step than to return a status code 500 (current behaviour) or 400. |
