+## Different return types (Either)
+
+Sometimes you need to return different types of responses. For example
+you can do error check and return error, otherwise return async response.
+Or any result that requires two different types.
+For this case [*Either*](../actix_web/enum.Either.html) type can be used.
+
+```rust
+# extern crate actix_web;
+# extern crate futures;
+# use actix_web::*;
+# use futures::future::Future;
+use futures::future::result;
+use actix_web::{Either, Error, HttpResponse, httpcodes};
+
+type RegisterResult = Either<HttpResponse, Box<Future<Item=HttpResponse, Error=Error>>>;
+
+fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> RegisterResult {
+    if true {          // <- choose variant A
+        Either::A(
+            httpcodes::HttpBadRequest.with_body("Bad data"))
+    } else {
+        Either::B(     // <- variant B
+            result(HttpResponse::Ok()
