Forcing An HTTP Response From the Server?

[pbd22]

Hi.

I feel like i should know this but i dont.
How do I get the server to send a specific HTTP response to the
browser?

I want to tell the browser that there is no content coming back from
ther server and I want to do it in the HTTP Headers. The status code
is "204" for no content.

How do i do this? I am using VB.NET.

Thanks.

Do you mean something like this in web.config:

<customErrors defaultRedirect="ErrorPage.aspx" mode="On">
<error statusCode="500" redirect="servererror.aspx" />
<error statusCode="404" redirect="filenotfound.aspx" />
<error statusCode="403" redirect="accessdenied.aspx" />
<error statusCode="204" redirect="nocontent.aspx" />
</customErrors>

You can set Response.Status to something like "204 No Content" (it's a string)
You probably then should call Response.End() to abort further processing
at the server.
