Redirect with a 404 when short URL is not found
YOURLS plugin : 404 if not found 
By default and by design, when a requested short URL is not found, YOURLS redirects to the site root with a "302 temporary redirect" header.
From the source:
yourls_redirect( YOURLS_SITE, 302 ); // no 404 to tell browser this might change,
// and also to not pollute logs
This plugin outputs a default "404 not found" error page instead.
Installation
- In
/user/plugins, create a new folder named404-if-not-found. - Drop these files in that directory.
- Go to the Plugins administration page (eg.
http://sho.rt/admin/plugins.php) and activate the plugin. - Have fun!
