I am updating my GitHub [Action](https://github.com/jskov/action-maven-publish/tree/api_v1) for uploading artifacts.

The last days I have worked on the switch from OSSRH to Publish Portal.  
And I think I can publish now.

But you should know that the /status REST resource returns 500 when there are validation errors.

Specifically I get:

```json
{"httpStatus":500,"errorCode":10500,"message":"Internal Server Error occurred","explanation":null,"data":null}

```

for deployment id 45642884-4980-4fbd-9c62-8110f329da28 in the dk.mada namespace.

Thanks!

I have now tried uploading files with correct signatures.

And they also result in a 500 when calling /status.

Duh!

I just rechecked the documentation, and the /status resource is a POST method.

I assumed that an idempotent operation (which I assume /status to be) would be a GET.

My bad.
