Description

When POSTing an ACL rule with unknown attributes to the Qpid HTTP management API, the server responds with HTTP 422, Unprocessable Entity. This is somewhat OK, however, I think maybe a 400 Bad Request would be more appropriate.

But after the post, the broker is somehow left in a bad internal state, as the returned Json is incomplete and unparseable.

Example POST in aclRequest.json

Qpid log from the incident qpidErrorLog.txt

Returned Json from subsequent GET resultingAcl.json
