Note Submitter: flat stanley ---- not strictly related to the headers function but anyway..... "if a server's 404 page is shorter than a certain amount of characters, IE will display its own 404 page." This 'feature' had me completely confused for a while. I had a small 404 during testing which simply echoed 'error'. Worked fine in firefox but not IE. I thought it was a problem with my script! (annoying....) Anyway, in my research I found someone saying that to overcome this problem you need a 404 page of 512 bytes or more. I can't confirm this figure but I increased the size of my page and now it works fine.
