When returning return Astro.rewrite("/404") can I render the 404 page but with the 410 status code instead?
#Astro.rewrite('404') with 410 instead of 404 status

Hi @faint breach. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
You can render the 404 page via Astro.rewrite("/404"), but the docs don’t show a way to change the status code of that rewritten response directly through rewrite(). Astro.rewrite() just serves content from another path; status handling is implicit (404 if the target doesn’t exist, 500 on error). [Rewrites]
The documented ways to control status codes are:
- Set
Astro.response.status(andstatusText) in the page itself. [Response] - Or return your own
new Response(...)from the page. [On-demand Response]
However, there is no example or mention of combining Astro.rewrite("/404") with a custom status like 410, and Astro.rewrite() itself does not accept a status parameter. [rewrite()]
So, based on the available docs, you cannot reliably “render /404 but with a 410 status” using Astro.rewrite("/404") alone. You would instead need to:
- Either implement the 410 response directly (e.g.
return new Response(html, { status: 410 })), or - Have the
/404page itself setAstro.response.status = 410, but then it will always be 410, not only when rewritten. [response]
