 Hey @prestonwordsworth, Thanks for bringing this up!

 While I would be able to suggest better if the data being sent was
 provided, with the information given, I can see that the behavior you're
 observing is the expected implementation.

 Empty POST requests are treated as GET requests, returning a 200 status
 with page content. When POST requests include data, WordPress attempts to
 find a registered handler for that data pattern. With a matching handler,
 it returns 200, otherwise 404.

 It's working as designed, though I agree with you that it could be better
 documented.
