Make it possible to send an empty body with other http response code then 204 (no content)

Seems that when you use http response code other than 204 and you remove the body in your mapping that there is always a body of the tags above.
It should be possible to define whether you want a body or not.

For example: we want to use 202 without sending a JSON body next to the http repsonse code, but it's not possible

    This IDEA has been assessed by the team.


    The requirement already exists today with the z/OS Connect Designer for OpenAPI 3 API creation. The z/OSConnect Designer allows a user to define which response is returned by the API and set conditions for each response within an API operation.

    For further details see: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos-connect/zos-connect/3.0?topic=designer-defining-responses

    Whilst the solution available in the product today is slightly different to the approach suggested in this IDEA, it does enable the requested capability. As such this IDEA is being closed as delivered.
