The message you get when you attempt to hit a page depends on how the
web server in question is configured. ; ) For instance, if you go here:

<http://www.macworld.com/article/2459508/message-to-it-from-mac-users-tread-lightly.html#tk.rss_mac911>

...and then select this menu item:

"http://www.macworld.com/article/"

...you'll get a "page not found" error.

And yes, I mentioned in my other reply that hand-editing the URL can
pose the same problem. Naturally, you can't view pages that don't exist
or that are not allowed by the web server in question, regardless of how
you get there.
