Getwork with unknown location should return an HTTP error #155

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
If I try to get work for an unknown location, e.g.:
   wget -S -O - www.webpagetest.org/work/getwork.php?location=blah

I get back an HTTP success:
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    ...

which is exactly the same response for valid locations with no pending jobs.  
This makes it difficult to detect configuration errors in the client and/or 
server (settings/location.ini).

Instead, the server should respond with something like:
    HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
    ...
    [put a list of valid locations here, format TBD]
