OP suggests 404 Not Found, but there’s also argument to made for a 5xx server error. After all, this “hello” front page pops up not because of client error, but because the server has not been configured properly.
- donalhunt 3y agoI like this idea. What about "518 - teapot not configured" ?
- tenebrisalietum 3y agoYou should not publicly admit you are unconfigured, attackers might take advantage.
- pixl97 3y agoWhich on the opposite side, default configurations should disable as much as possible as to reduce attack surface.
- Chaosvex 3y agoNow you'd have to argue the semantics of what it means to be misconfigured. Is it misconfigured just because the placeholder index hasn't yet been replaced? How does the server know?
