Yup, that's how it works.  Although it's often worth reading a bit to
see the sorts of questions being asked, and perhaps checking the mailing
list archives before asking.

You probably want to read:

In short: due to the way that Xitami is resolving the URL with the
illegal '%' encoding, it manages to think it should serve up the home
page for the site, so it sends that as a 200 response.  Other than a
little extra traffic, nothing bad happens.
