Hi Alexandre,
you don't say which service you're using (that matters)...

For example, returning 404 is a requirement from the WMTS specification,
omitting that would make the server non compliant.
An explicit test for it is mandated as part of the "Abstract Test Suite":

------------

a) Test purpose: Verify that when a request contains a TileRow or TileCol
incorrect, then the server throws an exception.
b) Test method: When a request contains a TileRow or TileCol greater or
equal to MatrixHeight and MatrixWidth respectively for the selected
TileMatrix, then the server throws an exception (code= TileOutOfRange) in
Procedure Oriented Architectural Style or a HTTP 404 File not found in
Resource Oriented Architectural Style.

------------

So it's actually a service exception when using KVP style, and a 404 when
using the RESTFul style.

In any case, as far as I know there is no way to change the existing
behavior (right or wrong which might be) other than changing the code
itself.
We could even have a flag to make the server more lenient for example, as
long as it's clear that could have compliance consequences (if it's WMTS
restulf that we are talking about).

Cheers
Andera
