I'm not sure that I really understand your reply.
Are you saying that if a script makes the mistake of sending back a
"Location: local-missing-file.html", that the server sends back a 404 Not
found is the script's fault, and the server shouldn't be concerned with
validating the actions of the script? It sounds like you are.
I can buy that, but the actual act of looking for the file, and generating
the error is done by the server at this point, not by the script. All the
script did was generate the Location:, and is now completey out-of-the-loop
and not in control. Anyway, since I'm lazy, I think I'll just leave it as
is: ie, 404 Not Found.
