<p>The <code>410</code> and <code>412</code> responses were changed to send an empty text string in <a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/commit/0fd29dc003000f8ee22d6310e5fc4ebdbeebbb28" class="commit-link"><tt>0fd29dc</tt></a> because of a bug in <code>lighttpd</code> which we were using at the time.</p>
