Re: Controller redirect function not setting status properly?

Thanks Brian, you made me realize that I was stupidly trying to do
something more complex than I needed to. Basically, I just wanted a
CMS-editable 404 page, but instead of working with AppError I decided
to try this method. I guess I forgot to Keep It Simple, Stupid. ;) I
still want a 404 but I'll do it the proper way instead.
