Server: EnhancedLog for MS-IIS
Content-Length: 75
Content-Type: text/html

<html><body>This document was moved to: <a href="/">here</a> </body></html>

3. Redirect: New URL

default
 Important notes  

1. User account for W3SVC service ( probably SYSTEM ) must have READ access to the message files.
2. You can't redirect the 401 message.
3. Destination file (for redirection) must exist. Client browsers are dumb - you can have really good site traffic, if you set redirection of "404 not found" to a file which isn`t found on your server.
4. EnhancedLog handles error messages going out from IIS, handles all errors generated by scripts too. EnhancedLog does not modify HTTP headers going out from IIS or from your scripts.
