 Internet Explorer comes configured to "Show friendly HTTP error messages" which replace the server's normal error messages. The 404 or Not Found error message is an HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server, but the server either could not find the file that was requested, or was unwilling to fulfill the request for it and did not wish to reveal the reason why.

When communicating via HTTP, a server is required to respond to a request, such as a web browser's request for an HTML document (web page), with a numeric response code, sometimes followed by an email-like MIME message. Each response code has an associated string of English text that must also be present. Response code 404's associated string is "Not Found". When sending a 404 response, web servers usually include in the response message a short HTML document that mentions both the numeric code and this string. Many browsers opt to show this message to the user, while some browsers instead display a "friendlier" error message. It has been suggested that Comparison of web browsers be merged into this article or section. ...

HTTP response codes have a specific interpretation. In code 404, the first "4" indicates a client error, such as a mistyped URL. The following two digits indicate the specific error encountered.

A Uniform Resource Locator, URL (spelled out as an acronym, not pronounced as earl), or Web address, is a standardized address name layout for resources (such as documents or images) on the Internet (or elsewhere). ...

A 404 error is often returned when pages have been moved or deleted. In the first case, a better response is to return a 301 Moved Permanently response, which can be configured in most server configuration files; in the second case, a 410 Gone should be returned. Because these two options require special server configuration, most websites do not make use of them.
