14:25 Raju 103111 5 Why are you using 404 to redirect? Don't do that! –deceze Nov 19 '12 at 14:27 its an user-centric feature –Daniel A. White Nov 19 '12 at 14:27 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 6 down vote IE Implemented this feature because most users don't know what 404 means and it just confuses them further. Unfortunately for developers that means that useful information or a nicer implementation gets shielded from the user. Jeff Atwood has a decent writeup about 404 pages. One of his suggestions is : You have to make your customized 404 page larger than 512 bytes, otherwise IE will assume it's a standard web server 404 message and replace it with its own friendly-ized version. So try making your 404 page more than 512 bytes and see if it is then shown to the user. share|improve this answer answered Nov 19 '12 at 14:32 John Koerner 25.3k64279 Thanks its working now –Raju Nov 19 '12 at 15:13 1 @Raju Then, why not mark this the as the accepted answer? –Fabian Schmied Mar 1 '14 at 9:20 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote An HTTP response consists of the HTTP headers and the HTTP body.

Microsoft notes in knowledge base article KB294807: HOW TO: Turn Off the Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x "Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages" Feature on the Server Side ...these "friendly" error messages are only displayed if the response that is sent to the client is less than or equal to a specified threshold. For example, to see the exact text of an HTTP 500 response, the content length must be greater than 512 bytes. Implement this padding. To do this, use the VBScript String function to return a string of the same character, which is one more than the ErrorThreshold that Internet Explorer 5.x uses to display the friendly error message. For example, add the following line immediately before the tag of 500-100.asp: <% Response.Write String(513, "_") %> Make it bigger So i bulk up response page to: 400 Bad Request
