            Although the HTTP standard specifies "unauthorized", semantically

            The server cannot find the requested resource. In the browser, this
            means the URL is not recognized. In an API, this can also mean that
            the endpoint is valid but the resource itself does not exist.
            Servers may also send this response instead of 403 Forbidden to hide
            the existence of a resource from an unauthorized client. This
            response code is probably the most well known due to its frequent
            occurrence on the web.
