Topicslug with numbers gets translated into topic id?

Is there a way to make sure if we get http://discourse.server.com/t/123-mytopicslug-2.json and that topic does not exist we get a 404?

Why would you even have this form to begin with? Where is the numeric ID of the topic? The URL is malformed the way you’ve written it.

Here’s what it should look like:

https://meta.discourse.org/t/slug/112491

Where slug can be literally any text imaginable, because it doesn’t matter. Only the numeric ID of the topic does.
