</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> So I would like to return a 404 code when my underlying request function

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - return a 200 (ok) response with data.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - crash and cause a 500 (Internal Server Error) response to be returned.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Not exactly the sentiment I want.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Is there some other way to cause a 404 response?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I realize I could add path constraint functions, but I will be
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> replicating logic from my underlying request function.  Furthermore, the
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> constraint functions consider parameters in isolation, so that won't work
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> if the validity of parameters is coupled.
