Globbing should return 200 OK even if empty

Assuming I have a container named /notes in my POD and this container contains resources matching /notes/note-* I get a nice list of those resources if I do a GET of /notes/note-*.

But if the /notes container is empty and I try GET /notes/note-* I get 404 - not found.

If think that is wrong, The container is there and any attempt to get a filtered list of its content should return 200 OK since the list is there (the container exists) but it is simply empty as there are no matching resources in the container.

Returning 404 tells the client "You made a mistake - there is nothing here". But the client did not make a mistake - it simply asked for an empty list, not a missing-non-existing list.

Start by tracing the server's GET handling for glob requests such as /notes/note-* and compare the existing-resource and empty-container cases. Verify how an empty match is converted into a 404, then add coverage showing that an existing container with no matching resources returns 200 OK with an empty list.
