Because then you'd get a ten-meg file

Instead of this 404.

I really would like to help you,

But I don't know what you're looking for,

And since I don't know what you want,

I give you 404.

Remember Poe, insane with longing

For his tragically lost Lenore.

Instead, you quest for files.

Quoth the Raven,

"404!"

That quote from alt.times.lore

Alas, you have made an error,

So I say, "404."

Double-check your URL,

As we all have heard before.

You ask for an invalid filename,

And I respond, "404"

Perhaps you made a typo --

Your fingers may be sore --

But until you type it right,

You'll only get 404.

Maybe you followed a bad link,

Surfing a foreign shore;

You'll just have to tell that author

About this 404.

I'm just a lowly server

(Who likes to speak in metaphor),

So for a request that I don't know,

I must return 404.

Be glad I'm not an old mainframe

That might just dump its core

The 404
