[Bug] 404 HTTP Header Status is incorrect

dan39dan39 New
edited February 2011 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8
When I test out the 404 page on a Vanilla forum (including this one) the 404 page is returning a status of: HTTP/1.1 200 OK

http://web-sniffer.net/?url=http://vanillaforums.org/discussions/foobar404

The 404 page should return a status of HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found. It's really bad for SEO to have dead pages with 200 status codes.

Is there an easy way to fix this?
