Magento: Redirect User to 404 Page

Following problem: Under certain circumstances i want the user to be redirected to default page not found page of magento.

Therefore i declared an event observer with the following code.

Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setHeader('HTTP/1.1','404 Not Found',true);
        Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setHeader('Status','404 File not found',true);

        $pageId = Mage::getStoreConfig('web/default/cms_no_route');
        $url = rtrim(Mage::getUrl($pageId),'/');

        Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setRedirect($url);

The redirect is working fine, but the given HTTP status code is 302 Found and not 404 Not Found. Any hints what i did wrong?

The official Magento way to do this:

    $this->getResponse()->setHeader('HTTP/1.1','404 Not Found');
    $this->getResponse()->setHeader('Status','404 File not found');

    $pageId = Mage::getStoreConfig(Mage_Cms_Helper_Page::XML_PATH_NO_ROUTE_PAGE);
    if (!Mage::helper('cms/page')->renderPage($this, $pageId)) {
        $this->_forward('defaultNoRoute');
    }

I copied this code from the noRouteAction function in /app/code/core/Mage/Cms/controllers/IndexController.php.

I used it inside a controller of a custom module, and it works. Magento version: 1.7.0.2.

Do you return immediately after setRedirect()? If any output is sent after setRedirect() was called then redirect headers will eventually be ignored.

Remember that exit will not let the redirect headers sent either, unless you call sendResponse() before exit as @benmarks mentioned.

The main issue is 

Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setRedirect($url);

setRedirect()[link] accepts a second parameter for the response code; by default it is 302.
