Steps to reproduce:

1. In a vanilla installation, in your localhost go to http://localhost:8080/api/jsonws/company/get-company-by-virtual-host/virtual-host/localhost?p_auth=7vGaicGJ
2. Assert that it works
3. Retry using http://localhost:8080/api/jsonws/company/get-company-by-virtual-host/virtual-host/localhos?p_auth=7vGaicGJ (note that the las t of localhost has been removed)
4. Assert that it fails and a message similar to this is printed in the page:
   {{
   Unknown macro: {"message"}

   }}

5. Go to the browser console and check the status header.

Current: Shows a 200 code
Expected: An error code
