   [HTTP spec](https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.5.2) designates the 501 response code to be used for a lack of *HTTP* functionality. That more or less means that the HTTP method used in the request isn't implemented by the server (*not* that the method is not available for an existing resource - that would entail a 405 response). The proper response code for a path that does not exist on the server is `404 Not Found`. Maybe we could use the `alerts` object instead?
