Meta 404

When your Web site cannot find a page, it often displays a special custom 404 message configured on your server.

What happens if the site cannot find it?

Everything goes meta:

The 404 message is 404

Dude, that’s like a 404 message for a 404 message.

In this case, it looks like it’s gotten left behind since the Web site URL without the non-existent page name redirects, and the redirected Web site with the non-existent page name is handled.  However, it looks as though with all of the redirection going on, some misdirection has occurred.

You do keep track, QA professional, of all of the URLs and all of the landing directories and all of the page names to make sure that they’re handled when the site changes in such a fashion to render them incorrect, right?  Right?
