-This is a common but troublesome problem when working with Koa middleware. First, it is critical to understand when Koa generates a 404. Koa does not care which or how much middleware was run, in many cases a 200 and 404 trigger the same number of middleware. Instead, the default status for any response is 404. The most obvious way this is changed is through `ctx.status`. However, if `ctx.body` is set when the status has not been explicitly defined (through `ctx.status`), the status is set to 200. This explains why simply setting the body results in a 200. Once the middleware is done (when the middleware and any returned promises are complete), Koa sends out the response. After that, nothing can alter the response. If it was a 404 at the time, it will be a 404 at the end, even if `ctx.status` or `ctx.body` are set afterwords.
