RE: Force Response Code?, Adrian Fitton, 12-11-2009

It depends on the server, but try this

This should work with IIS (but make sure that there is no other output before this):

<% header "HTTP/1.1 404 Not found" %>
<% header "" %>

If that doesn't work, some servers will work with this:

<% header "Status: 404 Not found" %>
<% header "" %>

Or, it apparently doesn't hurt to use both, with the HTTP first:

<% header "HTTP/1.1 404 Not found" %>
<% header "Status: 404 Not found" %>
<% header "" %>

IIS, at least, doesn't allow setting all of the possible HTTP response codes, but it does allow the "404 Not found" and "401 Unauthorized" which are the only two I've had a need for. I'm not sure about other servers.
