Custom 404 Page

3

Is there a way we can return a proper 404 HTTP Status on our page-not-found rock page? When I check status it gets 302>200 as statuses when we use a custom page (set in Site Settings). It returns the proper 404 http status if we do not have that page set. This could potentially cause Google to still keep old links active. Technically their index algorithm should remove old links eventually, but I just thought I would check and see if anyone else dealt with this situation?

    I looked into this in detail. It's not as easy as it may seem to support having site specific 404 pages AND set the Response.StatusCode to 404. Not sure there is development bandwidth right now to complete this but I did add it to the future feature list.

    Could provide more details on your configuration. I seem to be getting a proper 404. Am I missing something?

    If we have a custom 404 page set for the external site it merely gets a 302 Redirect and a 200 response:

    With this configuration set on the site (specifically the 404 Page being set):

    From what I can tell CentralAZ is getting it as well: http://centralaz.com/yo
