+<PRE>My situation is that I have a rest handler that may fail due to invalid url
+segments. Example situation:
+
+
+init(_Transport, _Req, _Opts) -&gt;
+ {upgrade, protocol, cowboy_rest}.
+
+content_types_provided(Req, State) -&gt;
+ {[{&lt;&lt;&quot;application/json&quot;&gt;&gt;, get_json}], Req, State}.
+
+get_json(Req0, State) -&gt;
+ {Params, Req1} = lists:mapfoldl(fun cowboy_req:binding/2, Req0,
+[param1, param2, param3, ....]),
+
+ case catch other_module:request(Params) of
+ {'EXIT', {badarg, _}} -&gt;
+ hmmm, Params were bad and I would like to return a 404 code now.
+ Result -&gt;
+ {jiffy:encode(Result), Req1, State}
+ end.
+
+
+
+So I would like to return a 404 code when my underlying request function
+fails, but it appears my choices are:
+
+- return a 200 (ok) response with data.
+- crash and cause a 500 (Internal Server Error) response to be returned.
+Not exactly the sentiment I want.
+
+
+Is there some other way to cause a 404 response?
+
+I realize I could add path constraint functions, but I will be replicating
+logic from my underlying request function. Furthermore, the constraint
+functions consider parameters in isolation, so that won't work if the
+validity of parameters is coupled.
+
+Thanks,
+Dan.
