Summary0006468: Use 410 Gone if token is provided for claimed order in public GET /orders/{order_id} page
DescriptionRight now, we give a 403 Forbidden. However, we don't actually know if the token is invalid, as we may have forgotten it (once the order was paid). This may result in a very confusing error for users that may have bookmarked the page with the token in the URL. Hence, we should change the logic to detect that a token was provided for a claimed order and return 410 Gone instead of 403. Additionally, we _eventually_ should provide a nice HTML reply (if requested content-type is HTML), and there detail what went wrong (order already claimed), instead of always returning JSON.
TagsNo tags attached.

The description of this is outdated, as the suggested approach doesn't work with NoJS, and also breaks when reloading the page at inopportune times.

We should first agree on a clearer specification for what /orders/{order_id} does, depending on the state of the order and and authentication given.

I fixed the flow for WooCommerce today, and updated the spec.

We cannot return 302 with the fulfillment URL if the client requests JSON due to CORS issues. So I am now:
- returning 302 to fulfillment if the order is paid and we are arriving with a claim token and HTML is requested
- return 202 with a JSON body giving the fulfillment URL if the order is paid, we are arriving with a claim token, and HTML is NOT requested.

Christian: The spec and implementation works for me like this.

The integration test is also finally passing now.
