The URL can stand for any URL. For example you can have it
http://www.cnn.com and it will still return the 404 page instead.

Mohammed, I seem te remember you were asking about
:
<%
Response.redirect "http://www.cnn.com"
%>
Re: ASP returning 404
It seems to me ASP does not "return" anything in this sense,
it is the browser being redirected to some web page, isn't it?
ASP just sends a header entry [and a small piece of HTML for noncompliant
browsers] in a 302-Object-moved page stream sent to the requesting client
browser, advising the browser to redirect to an outside URL.
Did you inspect the header?
Use <http://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html[or many others]
========================================
It should show something like this:
Receiving Header:

So what is different in your case?
