Attempting to fetch asset that doesn't exist returns index.html
Hi all,
If you call ASSETS.fetch(req) in a pages advanced function for an asset that doesn't exist, instead of returning not found it just returns index.html. Is there a way to disable this behaviour? I basically need some way of checking if a static asset exists, and if not continuing instead of returning the asset.

You can add a top-level
404.html, and it'll disable its SPA behavior, and you could tell based off the 404 being returned?

perfect! i guess i should have read more of the docs, thank you!
is there a way to inspect the response without cloning it though? if i call res.text() and it turns out to be a valid asset i can't reuse the response, right?
hmm I haven't played around with it before, but I assume it returns a Response which should have
status on it, being 404ok that makes sense. i know when it was returning the index it was a 200 but a 404 should be a 404
thank you!
