      Hi guys,

      So I'm working through a large dataset of 404 errors and trying to clean up the site's crawl-ability. A piece of the puzzle I can't seem to wrap my head around has to do with AJAX endpoints. It looks like GWT thinks these are URLs that don't exist and, therefore, is reporting them as 404 errors.

      Anyone experience this before?
