Oops - indeed.
I went back and thought about this, and everything is working as it should:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ GET -s http://localhost/doesntexist
404 Not Found
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ HEAD -s http://localhost/doesntexist
404 Not Found

Of *course* it's a not found, that's the whole point of 404 :-) The GET
request returns a 'not found' too, just that it gives you some HTML to
look at while you are contemplating the missing page... So everything
is working as it should be.
