1.1. The good old days

Every once in a while, we long for times that were, but not so in TYPO3 development. I assume here that we use RealURL for generating those nice URLs. RealURL is one of those improvements we cannot live without as it shows us where we are in a website in a logical fashion (if configured correctly). Lets hit a non existing page in TYPO3 3.8. We get presented with the following error message in the good old fashioned style.

 

 

 

 

 

OK, so now what? It's nice to know the page does not exist. If correctly configured in the install tool, the server throws a correct header (HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found) letting the client (your browser or Google) know that this page is not here. I presume Google is intelligent enough to use this info and not list this URL in their search results.
