---- Best practice for "directories" with no index page?

i think the 404 route sounds the best idea. It ensures the index pages cannot be counted as content and prevents directory browsing. I just dont like the idea of 100's of forbidden requests where once there was indeed a page. I will probably make the headers return a 410.
