Hi,

I have a server that because you are providing it with a invalid response w=
ill
simply ignore your request, and respond with an empty response for some, an=
d for
others it will respond with a "HTTP/1.0 404 " therefore a test to verify th=
at no
404 was responded, and no empty response was received for the should-not-ex=
ist
test, should clear any problem of false positive.

Thanks
