Ah yes, this seems to stem from the fact the "ErrorDocument 404 /404.php" is really a kind if redirect. What's weird about this is if you use it one way (in the .htaccess) the PHP variables that appear are pre-redirect. If you put "Errordocument 404 /404.php" into the httpd.conf the PHP variables are post-redirect and are just as if you went straight to the 404.php page. I am sure I am missing some kind of Apache "point-of-view," but is it working for most of my URLs now. Some ancient CGI accesses come in now and again and they show this problem. However, thanks for the idea and code. Even as just a 404 trigger, this is very useful. The emails are starting to show just how many old URLs exist on my servers.
