Wouldn't HTTP 204 be more appropriate here? A 4xx would make it seem like the request failed, when in fact it succeeded.

403/404 seems to be the response to GET, not POST. In which case 405 Method Not Allowed would be better.

And 405 response must include `Allow: POST` header.

Oh, I misread. Indeed, 4xx makes sense for a GET.
