Oops, I replied to Richard off-list before I saw this- that page
actually exists, so it correctly returns a 200 response.  When you go to
an actual nonexistent page, you get a 404, as expected.  Ideally that
page should never be reached directly, and I'm more curious as to how he
actually got to that URL in the first place.

Thanks,
RIcky
