This really sucks!! And is against net standards. If I enter in http://www.this-site-does-not-exist.com or http://www.when-i-typed-this-i-made-a-typo.com I want to see a REALL 404 error response. As in HTTP 404.... NOT A HTML page of 200 with the phrase 404 pasted into the body and some rip off IE 404 page screen shots. I have many server scripts and systems that rely on correct http response codes. And when they get a 200 and not a 404 - the whole thing fucks up.
