Server returns 500 on update queries

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’m trying to get windows updates working, but the server returns a 500 when the client queries for new versions.

The client is version 1.0.0-alpha9 and the next version is a stable 1.0.0.

The url looks like this: /update/win64/1.0.0-alpha9/alpha/releases?id=ask&localversion=1.0.0-alpha9&arch=amd64

But the server returns a 500: No version available. Shouldn’t that be a 404?

Also, when I look at the logs, all I get is:

Applying disable cache policy
Windows Update Search Query { platform: [ 'windows_64' ],
  version: '1.0.0-alpha9',
  channel: 'alpha' }
Applicable Channels [ 'stable', 'rc', 'beta', 'alpha' ]
Time Filter { '>=': 2016-11-24T13:44:50.000Z }
Version not found

Dang! I believe I have actually done this misstake before?

Maybe you should add some documentation regarding this point?
