I have tried that approach and it failed in the past. If we behave
like the file has been succesfully created but just plain discard it,
Finder will expect it to be there, and if it get a 404 for a file that
was just created and it really expected to exist, it fails miserably.
Of course that could have changed in later versions of Finder. Sending
the 404/403 upfront is a saner and simpler approach which doesn't
break expectations on either side, IMO, and is more likely to work.
