404 Headers are useful for hiding things from nosy visitors, like include files containing passwords. This little script will request a non-existant file from your server and send the error document and headers to the browser. <?php function gimme_a_404(){ $fp = fsockopen($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'], $errno, $errstr, 30); if ($fp) { fputs($fp, "GET /".__FUNCTION__."
