Comment:

 Thank you for clarifying why you made this ticket, @Ov3rfly. It's
 important to understand whether this was related to a technical
 requirement, or whether it was a style issue.

 As it's a style issue, the more important part of consistency here is the
 presence of the comment, explaining that the file is intentionally blank,
 rather than the file returning no data when requested over HTTP.

 I'm not particularly fussed that the current behaviour returns visible
 output, but I'm fine with changing the behaviour to that in
 [attachment:44195.4.diff].
