Comment:

 I was able to reproduce this on both a live site and a local installation.
 I set the `DB_HOST` to an invalid value:
 `define( 'DB_HOST', 'faulty' );`

 To get the `200` response, I needed `WP_DEBUG` to be `true`, and then it
 gave `mysqli_real_connect` warnings. (With `WP_DEBUG` as false, it
 correctly returned a `500` error code.)
