And to quote (partially) the RFC re' response code 404:

    This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish
    to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no
    other response is applicable.

<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.5>

Keep 'em guessing :-)
