Mock JavaScript endpoint returning HTTP 404
https://demo-js-404.supercrontab.com/ answers every request with HTTP 404 Not Found and a small JavaScript body. No signup, CORS enabled, nothing logged. Use it to see how your client, retry logic or cron job behaves on a 404 before it happens in production.

Questions
Does this endpoint really return HTTP 404 every time?
Yes. Every GET, POST, PUT, PATCH or DELETE to https://demo-js-404.supercrontab.com/ gets status 404 Not Found with a small JavaScript body, whatever the path, query or headers. OPTIONS gets 204 with CORS headers so browsers can preflight.
Should my client retry a 404?
No. Retrying the same request cannot change the outcome. Check the URL and the id. For webhooks, disable the target after a few 404s in a row.
Can I get a different format, a delay or a custom body?
The same status is available in JSON, XML, Text, CSV, HTML, YAML, RSS. Delays, custom headers, error rates, request logging and your own body need a personal endpoint: sign up and create one at /endpoints in a minute, free.
