DELETE service returning 204 breaks ioDocs

[sanderhouttekier]

when using a rest API, which returns status 204 no content after a succesful DELETE statement. The javascript of ioDoc fails as it is trying to get result.signin while result itself is undefined.

the node library node-restful is one that gives us this behavior at the moment:
https://github.com/baugarten/node-restful

error in the frontend of ioDoc after calling one of the above delete statements:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'signin' of undefined docs.js:273

I might take a deeper look into the code later this weekend and hopefully come up with some sort of a solution. not sure if i'm ready to fork and make a pull request but i'm definately going to try :)

I see the same thing; the UI shows pink and does not show the 204 HTTP status code

stdout log (with debug option on) shows

in processRequest
{ httpMethod: 'delete',
  oauth: '',
  methodUri: '/microUrls/{mId}',
  accessToken: '',
  json: '{"mId":"1i8av34q4a4un"}',
  locations: '{"mId":"path","MicroUrl":"body","MicroUrls":"body"}',
  values: [ '1i8av34q4a4un' ],
  apiKey: '',
  apiSecret: '',
  apiName: 'microurl' }
json:  { mId: '1i8av34q4a4un' }
locations:  { mId: 'path', MicroUrl: 'body', MicroUrls: 'body' }

looks like we need to change 'public/javascripts/docs.js' lines: 160, 166, 273

from:
if (result.signin) {
to:
if (result && result.signin) {

I try it (result && result.signin), still not working.
