Description
When a client tries to access a route that is not supported, i.e., `/`, and they're accepting html, show a nice-ish 404 page. (accepting html means it's probably a browser and the host forgot to setup the web client)

Research direction
Start by locating the route-handling entry point for unsupported routes, especially `/`, and trace how the request's accepted content type is handled. Done means a browser-like request accepting HTML receives a nice 404 page for `/`, while the response remains appropriate for other clients.
