Description

All REST operations on nodes (CN or MN) should return an appropriate error message if the parameters for the call are incorrect or the call is invalid for some other reason.

Currently the CN stack returns the CN Home when an error is encountered. For example:

http://cn-dev.dataone.org/cn/object?count=1&start=10

should actually be a valid call, but is currently treated by the CN as an error since it is requiring the "qt" parameter to be present. However, instead of returning an error, the CN "home page" is being returned.
