I don't really see a problem? I think the point is you wanted to go to foobar.com/naughtygirls but it's actually foobar.com/naughty-girls. At the very least, the 404 brings you to the right website, presumably, ideally with a coherent enough sitemap/navigation to get you to your desired place.
Though, I wonder how often 404s actually happen outside of people not properly setting up redirects. I imagine 95% of people just type in domains or use bookmarks.
- Cushman 15y agoThere's definitely a use case there-- but it should be configurable behavior to request or redirect to a site map on 404. I may or may not want to trawl through Photobucket to find that missing image; I'd just like my browser to give me the choice before erasing my current page state.
- gospelwut 15y agoThis is reasonable. I always like being given a choice. Though, I'm sure this could be overachieved with an extension (assuming people properly setup their 404's).
