tracker issue : CF-3858939

Until update 14, using cfthrow in a rest component worked as per the docs here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Developing/WSe61e35da8d318518-5719eac51353e6bb244-7fec.html

Now it is returning status 204 - No content

I can return a status using restSetResponse, but if there are no errors and I actually want to return a result set I can't since restSetResponse requires the return type of the function to be set to void. So restSetResonse is fine where your function just needs to return a 'i did/didn't work' e.g. an update or delete, but not much use for GET requests where you could return a result set, but also might want to indicate an error with e.g. parameters


Steps to Reproduce: create a REST function with a cfthrow;

	remote struct function retrieveOffer(numeric offerId restargsource="path")
				httpmethod="GET"
				restpath="{offerId}" {

		if (arguments.offerId < 0) {
			throw(errorCode = 400, message = "Invalid offer id");
		}

		return { val1 = "value 2", val2 = "value 2"};
	}


Actually, the above is a 'real world' type function. A much simpler function to illustrate the point is;


	remote struct function retrieveOffer() {
		throw(errorCode = 400, message = "You won't see me!");
	}



Actual Result:HTTP status returns '204 No Content' if offer is negative

Expected Result: HTTP Status 400 - You won't see me!

Any Workarounds:None I can see
