Filter out invalid URI and HTTP method in the error message of no handler found for a REST request (#3459) 

Filter out invalid URI and HTTP method of a error message, which shown when there is no handler found for a REST request sent by user, so that HTML special characters <>&"' will not shown in the error message.

The error message is return as mine-type `application/json`, which can't contain active (script) content, so it's not a vulnerability. Besides, no browsers are going to render as html when the mine-type is that.
While the common security scanners will raise a false-positive alarm for having HTML tags in the response without escaping the HTML special characters, so the solution only aims to satisfy the code security scanners.
