+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; Result -&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; {jiffy:encode(Result), Req1, State}
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; end.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; So I would like to return a 404 code when my underlying request
+</I>&gt;<i> function fails, but it appears my choices are:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; - return a 200 (ok) response with data.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; - crash and cause a 500 (Internal Server Error) response to be
+</I>&gt;<i> returned. Not exactly the sentiment I want.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; Is there some other way to cause a 404 response?
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; I realize I could add path constraint functions, but I will be
+</I>&gt;<i> replicating logic from my underlying request function. Furthermore, the
+</I>&gt;<i> constraint functions consider parameters in isolation, so that won't work
+</I>&gt;<i> if the validity of parameters is coupled.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; Thanks,
