Specific 404 for single file

Hi all,

I need to produce a specific error for a single file that no longer exists
on our site. Is this possible on IIS6? And how?

I'd replace the file with the content of the error page but I really need it
to produce a proper 404 for the search engines.

Yes, that is possible. You can use an ISAPI Filter if you want to do this
transparently.

Alternatively, set the HTTP Response status to 404 (assuming the page can
use some kind of server-side code, e.g. ASP, ASP.NET, CF, PHP etc)

Cheers
Ken

Do you mean something like ISAPI_Rewrite?

Unfortunately not but I've redirected to one that can. Good enough.

Thanks.
