The text is just nice gimmick. I don't think that "404 Nothing to see here" adds any value. An HTTP developer not known status codes is a bad developer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
