Description

If the Configuration is defined, the command works as expected:

 % curl -i 'http://host:8983/solr/collection1/dataimport?command=show-config&indent=true' 
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store
Pragma: no-cache

ETag: "13c2b8b8c58"
Content-Type: application/xml
Content-Length: 748

<dataConfig>

[...]

If the Configuration is missing, the body will say so - but the Header contains still Status 200 OK

 % curl -i 'http://host:8983/solr/collection1/dataimport-no-config?command=show-config&indent=true'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>

<lst name="responseHeader">
  <int name="status">0</int>
  <int name="QTime">0</int>
</lst>
<str name="status">Configuration not found</str>
</response>

If that would be changed to something like (let's say) 404 Not Found, we would be able to show an appropriate Error Message at the Admin UI - otherwise we have to parse the xml-response, try to match strings ..
