Throw a 404 status code and then redirect to 404 page from API

If someone enters an invalid query string parameter to my web part, I want to respond with a 404 and redirect them my 404 page.

How can I do so?

I setup my web.config as:


<customErrors defaultRedirect="~/Special-Pages/Server-error.aspx" mode="On">
  <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/CMSMessages/PageNotFound.aspx"/>
</customErrors>

When I use the API call RequestHelper.Respond404();, the page responds with a 404 status but does not send a redirect.

throw new HttpException(404, "Forum post not found"); sends the page to the ~/CMSMessages/PageNotFound.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/CMSPages/PortalTemplate.aspx: Page /CMSPages/PortalTemplate.aspx was not found.

How can I do so?

Thanks!
Joe Hoppe

Are you getting a proper 404 page when you type non existing page to the URL? Best regards, Juraj Ondrus


Member	joeh42 - 2/21/2012 9:05:35 AM RE:Throw a 404 status code and then redirect to 404 page from API My page not found setting is set to ~/Special-Pages/Page-not-Found.aspx in the global settings. The site level settings are set to inherit. If I type a bogus URL into the address bar, i.e. mysite.com/asdf, I am redirected to that page. Suggestions?


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 2/22/2012 2:59:06 AM RE:Throw a 404 status code and then redirect to 404 page from API Hi, In the web.config custom errors configuration, could you please try to add this attribute to the customErrors element: redirectMode="ResponseRewrite" This should ensure that the original URL will be displayed whereas the 404 error will be returned.
