[PATCH] to change text of 404 message

    Currently, the default 404 message is "File Not Found".  I propose
    that this be changed, since the URI may not refer to a file at all.
    RFC2068 just says "not found," and is mute on what the referent may
    be.

According to Brian Behlendorf:

RFC 2068 simply talks about 404 as "Not Found".
