asp_web_howto thread: 404 file


Message #1 by "Simon Garstin" <sales@o...> on Fri, 7 Dec 2001 16:00:44 -0000
If a user clicks a link on www.siteA.com/page1.htm to access

www.siteB.com/page2.htm

and the siteB page does exist, where does the 404.htm page come from - siteA

or siteB ?

(I want to know which 404.htm file to customise)



thanks



Simon Garstin

He's gonna go from siteA to siteB where he sees that www.siteB.com/page2.htm

doesn't exist.

So you have to change the 404.htm of siteB.

Thanks,



That seems logical - but what happens if the site B server is down,

then it must be site A which generates the 404 file.

Hi simon,

no he isn't gonna do that ...

If site B is down he's gonna give a error that the requested page couldn't

be displayed.



Greetings,

Vinnie

Dear Simon,



site B nor site A isn't gonna generate an error ...

Your browser is gonna give an error which says "The page can't be displayed"



When you follow the link from site A to Site B he's gonna do the following

steps:

1) he connects from SiteA to Site B

2) he cannot connect to site B due to the fact that the site there is down.

3) he's gonna give a browsererror who says "The page you requested cannot be

displayed"



"The page you requested cannot be displayed" is a browsererror so it comes

from the MIE or NN

Greetings,

vinnie
