Right now, the API server returns 200 responses basically unconditionally. The readme says:
Among other things, this makes it easier to use the API from another domain using CORS.
But I don't think this is quite true, because according to my reading of the CORS spec, 4xx and 5xx responses should be visible as long as the appropriate Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is set. It's only preflight requests which must return 2xx responses for the request to succeed, and we don't need to use those because we only use "simple methods" (GET and POST).
I think a 200 response in the case where the code failed to compile is appropriate, but I don't think it's appropriate in a case where we are refusing the process the request because the body is too large; the 413 Request Entity Too Large response seems more appropriate for that. I'm not sure what the best way to handle modules not called Main is.
Relatedly, I think we should add the appropriate CORS headers (in particular Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) for compile.purescript.org in nginx, rather that on the individual scotty routes as we are doing currently. This way, clients from different origins would be able to handle errors which occur outside of the handling of those particular routes in Scotty, such as 404s for non existent endpoints, or 502s for if a deployment has gone wrong.
