Return Proper 404 Err. Header

[globi]

Hallo!

I've noticed that my 404-page is actually returning 302 header.
How could I send the proper 404 header to the browser?


Regards,

How have you noticed? What 404 page are we talking about? PW default 404 page?

It correctly throws an 404 header. It will not (of course) if you access it directly via url then it will be a 200.

A 404 in templates, you could write

throw new Wire404Exception();

This will render the 404 page and send correct 404 header.

There's a hidden page with the name "http404" and title "404 Page Not Found" which uses "basic-page" template.
I'm not sure if that's default or not?

Any clue?

That is the default. It has ID=27.

Yes, that's right - the ID is 27

If you access the page directly, then it will give 200 OK as a header: http://processwire.com/http404/

When accessing url that actually doesn't exist, like http://processwire.com/fasdfkw/ you get 404.

If you get a 302, my guess is that you are accessing a URL with another RewriteRule behind it. For instance, if you are enforcing trailing slashes via an .htaccess file, and you access a URL without trailing slashes, then Apache will first redirect to the same URL with a slash (which could be a 302), and the resulting page will have a 404.
