** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  When there is an error with the apt proxy the headers are not returned
  which makes debugging hard.
  
  [Test Case]
  
  This was tested on xenial when the release lacked the InRelease file by-
- hash.  It's hard to test otherwise unless there are problems with the
- archive.
+ hash.
+ 
+ This can be verified manually as follows:
+ 
+ * Start the proxy via
+ 
+ ./magic-proxy -t `python -c "import time; print(int(time.time() -
+ 300))"`
+ 
+ * In an empty directory do
+ 
+ mkdir -p ubuntu/dists/xenial/by-hash/SHA256
+ touch ubuntu/dists/xenial/InRelease
+ python3 -m http.server
+ 
+ * In a separate terminal telnet to port 8080 and paste
+ 
+ GET /ubuntu/dists/xenial/InRelease HTTP/1.1
+ HOST: localhost:8000
+ 
+ followed by an empty line. Without the patch, the response will be the
+ string "No InRelease file found for given mirror, suite and timestamp".
+ 
+ With the patch applied, the response will start with a HTTP status line
+ "HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found" and a set of HTTP headers.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  Low.  This was tested on xenial when the release lacked the InRelease
  file by-hash.  Also, this code is not yet in use.
