Starting Discourse in development mode and opening [http://localhost:3000/x](http://localhost:3000/x) doesn’t produce a 404 page like [https://meta.discourse.org/x](https://meta.discourse.org/x) does. Instead, I get the Rails routing error page:

```plaintext
No route matches [GET] "/x"

```

I disabled the plugin I’m developing, but that doesn’t affect this problem.

Note that a link with `href="/x"` does produce the expected 404 error page, only a regular request doesn’t.

I’m not sure how to categorize this as I’m certain this must be an issue on my end, not a bug with Discourse.
