To say that "no problem" implies that the server would not have performed a problematic request is false in both the common sense and literal interpretations. Common sense tells you that "no problem" just something many people say when thanked. The common Spanish reply to "gracias" is "de nada," which, literally translated, is "of nothing." Pretty close to "no problem."
If we are being literal, "no problem" actually implies that the task was not a problem, and if it had been the server would not have chosen not to do it, but simply responded with a different reply.
