Yii::$app->end() in yii2/filters/HostControl.denyAccess() is so hard to debug

[ngbsoft]

First it swap host not allowed by NotFoundHttpException ('Page not found') which is very misleading in the log.
Then it makes things even harder for developer by calling Yii::$app->end(); , making catch block unusable. If this happens in production , it would take days to locate the issue.

I dunno, maybe :

1. send access denied error instead of not found ?!?
2. don't end the app, let the dev handle the exception themselves ?
