Hi,

We have an external agency auditing our site at the moment and one of the recommendations they have is to return a 404 response code for the actual custom 404 page itself.

Our custom 404 works fine in every other respect, so if you generate a 404 page by deliberately going to a non-existent page the correct 404 response is generated.

The custom 404 page /404/ returns 200 I guess because it's a valid page which exists in Umbraco. Is there anyway to force this to also have a 404 response code?

For info, I'm specifying my 404 in the umbracoSettings.config

    <errors>
  <error404>15969</error404>
  <!-- 
    The value for error pages can be:
    * A content item's integer ID   (example: 1234)
    * A content item's GUID ID      (example: 26C1D84F-C900-4D53-B167-E25CC489DAC8)
    * An XPath statement            (example: //errorPages[@nodeName='My cool error']
  -->
  <!--
    <error404>
        <errorPage culture="default">1</errorPage>
        <errorPage culture="en-US">200</errorPage>
    </error404>
   -->
</errors>

In the web.config I have

    <httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" />

Thanks Stuart
