Nick,
It's not an oversight. It's because of the way that ISAPI works with IIS.
In order for an IIS status code to be redirected to a custom page without a
302, it has to be handled by IIS itself. Once you pass that layer and get
into the ASP.NET ISAPI dll, you can no longer redirect without a 302.
There is no way around that.
In the case of a 404, you are only returning that if a page that is
requested does not exist. Therefore, I fail to see why you cannot simply
handle this with IIS.

| Well that seems a really appauling oversight.
|
| I would be very happy for IIS to handle ALL 404 errors. However, if I want
| to trap errors and display a nice message to the user I have to abandon
| normal HTTP standards for 404 errors on any page with a .ASPX extension.
