Review Comment:
   `sendError(404)` gets routed to `/roller-ui/errors/404.jsp`, so a disabled 
endpoint now answers a desktop client's POST with an HTML page instead of the 
XML-RPC fault `BLOGGERAPI_DISABLED_MSG` that `BaseAPIHandler` still produces 
(line 152) but can no longer reach. Clients like MarsEdit will show a generic 
"invalid response". Consider writing a small XML-RPC fault with `text/xml` 
here, or at least `setStatus(404)` with a plain-text body so the error JSP 
isn't rendered.
