> The large HTML 404 page returned by Stargate is not helpful. The REST
> interface is not intended for humans to read, esp. when the client is known
> to be a program because it's asking for binary, but really any time. Nice
> big readable error pages use bandwidth and clutter network traces to no
> purpose.
> Please allow the 404 and other error pages to be configured away, or just
> stop sending them (my preference). If some body must be sent, a simple
> text/plain "Not found" would be fine, I think.
