The command $ ps -u http exits with rc=1 when the user does not exist. fair and to be expected, there's an error in the arguments. But did you know it also exits with rc=1 when the user exists but has no running processes? I consider "no running processes" to be a completely valid and successful result, but apparently ps - and maybe posix - has different ideas.
