-----------------------------------
> Send 404/NOT FOUND if default GET servlet has no renderer for an extension
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-1231
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1231
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Servlets
> Affects Versions: Servlets Get 2.0.6
> Reporter: Felix Meschberger
> Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Fix For: Servlets Get 2.0.8
>
>
> The DefaultGetServlet currentls sends a 403/FORBIDDEN status if a request
> cannot be handled because there is no renderer for the requested extension.
> Likewise the StreamRendererServlet also sends a 403/FORBIDDEN if called with
> the wrong extension (only res and no extension are allowed).
> This contrasts to the situation when a non-existing resource is requested:
> Consider http://host/notfound.html. This results in a 404/NOT FOUND response.
> If requesting http://host/notfound.XYZ and there is no renderer for the XYZ
> extension, a 403/FORBIDDEN status is returned. This is unexpected.
> Additionally, not having a renderer for a certain extension means that the
> resource cannot be rendered which is practically the same as if the resource
> would not exist -- rather than access to the resource is denied.
