It was thus said that the Great Andrew Starks once stated:

  There's also:

	400	Bad Request	(RFC-2616, section 10.4.1)
	403	Forbidden	(RFC-2616, section 10.4.4)	
	415	Unsupported Media Type (RFC-2616, section 10.4.16)

  Sending a 415 implies the request is totally bad and not just something
that may be missing on the server (or, you could play a cruel cruel joke and
return 410 Gone).
