There are some broken HTTP clients out there. I've run into one: Flash (circa 2009). Flash gets upset if it doesn't receive a 200 response from the server. In particular, if your server returns a 4xx HTTP code in an API response, Flash will not even pass the response to the Flash application.

Want to know if your ‘HTML application’ is part of the web? Link me into it. Not just link me to it; link me into it. Not just to the black-box frontpage. Link me to a piece of content.
