Yes, same here for us, on two different boxen. It _seems_ that there's already something magical about Apache's config. on LUGOD.org, _OR_ that IE actually looks at the length/complexity/keywords within the 404 response HTML to "decide" whether it's already "friendly enough" Compare: http://www.lugod.org/tototo with the setting on and off (both cases, you see my nice PHP 404 error) to: http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tototo with the setting on and off (on, you see the generic IE "friendly" 404, off, you see my simply 404.shtml page) Whatever. This is why I don't like thinking about IE. :) -bill! (discovered that a server-erroring VBScript in IIS still sends a 200 "OK" response, since I guess they assume all VB coders are too stewpid to disable the 'friendly error' setting. Seriously... I read this at microsoft.com just now after doing a Google search ;) ) _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
