---------------------------------------

Thanks for the suggestion. This is Jersey's default behavior. I'll look into how to change it. Really quick Googling turns up this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12202328/jersey-remove-response-body-from-error Suggestions welcome.

> The large HTML 404 page returned by Stargate is not helpful.  The REST interface is not intended for humans to read, esp. when the client is known to be a program because it's asking for binary, but really any time.  Nice big readable error pages use bandwidth and clutter network traces to no purpose.
> Please allow the 404 and other error pages to be configured away, or just stop sending them (my preference).  If some body must be sent, a simple text/plain "Not found" would be fine, I think.
