Hi Reto & Jon:

Sorry  for the late reply. Busy recently.

URL = Universal "Resource" Locator

The reason that we return 200 instead of 404 in "native url mode" is becasue
the "resource" in "native url mode" is the script itself instead of the
whole url.

So, the "script" does "founded" in ths case,  return 200 is a valid
behavior.

But in Custom/Pretty/Reqrite mode, the resource is the "whole url string".
(Just like the RESTful url)

So, we did not found the "URL", and we should return 404, instead of 200.
Even we already provide a error page here.
