Are you arguing that a portion of a path that makes up a part of
another path should be able to return a 404?
I can understand a portion of a path returns some other error, or course.
that is to say
http://somewhere.org/US/IL/
is a 200
but
http://somewhere.org/US/
is not found?
Because I would argue that with a longer path which is found I can
infer that all the parts of that path are found as well.
