When fetching a file that doesn't exist a confusing message like this is generated:

<pre>Process 88 stopped
* thread #1: tid = 88, 0x00007f819bf6a1d0, name = 'fhost'
    frame #0:
Process 88 stopped
* thread #8: tid = 88, 0x00007f81a47d7d60 fhost`get(path='/test/') + 27 at fhost.c:139, name = 'fhost/responder', stop reason = invalid address (fault address: 0x30)
    frame #0: {3:#018x} fhost`get(path='/test/') + 27 at fhost.c:139
   136   get(SrvContext *ctx, const char *path)
   137   {
   138       StoredObj *obj = ctx->store->query(shurl_debase(path));
-> 139       switch (obj->type) {
   140           case ObjTypeFile:
   141               ctx->serve_file_id(obj->id);
   142               break;
* Connection #0 to host 0x0.st left intact
(lldb) q</pre>

I received this one when getting a gdb backtrace from a friend who mistakenly typo'd the link and spent a while confused as to where these files were in the crashing program.

When submitting an invalid request like curl -F"file='@myfile.jpg'" it gives a 'Segmentation fault' response.

I hit this trying to figure out how to escape commas and quotes in filenames and almost reported this as a curl bug, but after more debugging found it's just an unhelpful error response.

Could these be changed to something more user friendly and less confusing?

This seems not to be an actual "Segmentation fault" error. i got this before. it seems to be an inside joke for a 404 page
