CI4 Filter before method throw for page unauthorized

Hello,

I use HTTP Responses to manage my response. For example, if my website has a maintenance mode activated, I will send this :

$this->response->setStatusCode(503);
$this->response->setHeader('Retry-After', '3600');
$this->response->setBody('<h1>Maintenance mode activated.</h1>');
return $this->response->send();

You can have more informations about this at this page : https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide...ponse.html

Also, for REST API, I think you can use API Response Trait : https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide...onses.html

I never used API Response, but you can use something like that :

return $this->respond($data, 401, $description);

OR

return $this->failUnauthorized($description);

Hope this help you !
