Stuart Lewis commented on DS-640:
---------------------------------

I promised to outline the options that we have to fix this:

1) Throw a 404.  This is probably safe for browse?type=foobar but it might 
cause problems if a search engine gets a 404 from /browse and removes all urls 
with that root from its index.

2) Respond with 200 OK and a useful error message.  However this won't teach 
crawlers that the pages are bad.

3) Create a /browse index page that lists the possible browse indexes, and 
redirect bad browse requests to that page.

4) Respond with some other error message? a 50x code and an 'invalid browse 
index' message?

5) Other?


Are there any preferences?
