RE: 404 Re: Comments on the Triple Patterns Fragments draft

Since everything else has already been discussed, I'll reply to the only

Case 3 works just fine even if you return a 200 instead of a 404. In fact,
that is very frequently used when implementing web apps. In Apache, e.g.,
you can achieve it with the following directives:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^.*$ /empty_result.jsonld [L]
