ASP.NET CustomError redirect 404 doesn't return 404 code in Fiddler

How can I make it return a custom ASP.NET page with an error code of 404? Currently it doesn't do that when I set the 

<customErrors mode="On">
            <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/UtahDisclosures.aspx" />
        </customErrors>

This seems to be a quirk of ASP.NET and one that I was unnaware of before reading your post.

However, a quick Google turned up this blog post: http://www.digitallycreated.net/Blog/57/getting-the-correct-http-status-codes-out-of-asp.net-custom-error-pages

They seem to know what they're on about and suggest using this: <% Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.NotFound; %> along with some other key steps (see the link).

Also, when sending custom error pages, you might need to bear this IE minimum error page size quirk in mind.
