I'm with you on this. 404 is an HTTP code. It's a transport condition, not a data condition.
The correct code to return is 204.
204 No Content
The server successfully processed the request and is not returning any content.

Just reading this about bowing and curtsying...
What happens if you don't bow/curtsy? Is there jail time, a fine, hand spanked??
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Australian Border Security: - Purpose of visit?
Me - Business
Australian Border Security: - Do you have a criminal record?
Me - Is that still required?
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.

I wonder if that really is the block and axe that did her in, or that is just some period piece and they say it is the real thing, but it really isn't.
Also, I noticed that the striking surface is quite narrow. Leaving much room for error I suppose...a few chops instead of one. More entertainment for the masses?
I have so many questions about this.

Anne Boleyn was beheaded with a sword, not an axe, so no, its not the real thing.

AFAIK Catherine Howard and Jane Boleyn were beheaded with an axe.
|

Jane Boleyn was the sister of Anne, and was indeed executed with an Axe. Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's 2nd wife was executed by sword. There's a discussion of why that might have been here: Anne Boleyn’s last secret | The Spectator

On the other hand - that nice scoop out for the head is very considerate - much more comfy compared to having to bend your neck every which way until you're comfortable.

Quote: Commoners don't have to bow or curtsy to members of the royal family ...
Thanks for the post, I had not given the subject any thought, but I now know that a bow is not expected of me.
(Not that they would ever have got one.)

Nothing happens - there is no law, only tradition. You are free to bow or not - the United Kingdom is a Democracy, not a Kingdom. Wait... 
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer.

I guess that I figured with the plethora of stupid laws we have in the U.S., that may be the same held true for the U.K.

Oh it does. Just not in this case.

Good attitude, like it. Never bow to anyone!

 What is this, the 15th century or something?
I wont bow to anyone, even if it is an ex German in a fancy hat.

This used to be considered High Treason. The statutory penalty was hanging, drawing, and quartering.
In these benighted times, even a dog (to say nothing of a cat) may look upon its Royal Lords and Masters without so much as a nod, let alone a bow or a curtsey.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The Daily Mail go absolutely mental.
Nothing else happens though.
So - if you don't care what the Daily mail think of you, you can do as you please.

Abusive note on ambulance[^]

Just a rude note? They're lucky - I lived for a while in the East End (of London) years back (amazing what we suckers do for women, eh? ) and a favourite game of the local kids was to call 999 )that's 911 to your Americans) and report a fire... then when the fire crews turned up they'd be pelted with bricks. Literally, they'd have bricks thrown at them.
