When reloading the page, it shows this:

In my opinion, it should show the 404 error directly (without the user having to reload).

Hey, I can't re-produce this.
Could you send me a sample or exact steps?

@leo is this prod or dev mode?

I was reviewing, install all betas versions, testing this configuration and the last time this worked perfectly was with 2.0.0-beta.26. From that to the last, show this error.

Believe I found the root of this issue. The documented xhr in the ctx of getInitialProps was removed in beta.27 and replaced by jsonPageRes. The error page is dependent upon xhr.
