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.

Rather, the only thing that was keeping my error pages from showing up was the, "show friendly http error messages" option that was seleceted by default in my installation of IE7. So, my question is: do I have any control over whether or not a client sees my custom error messages or not?
