[Cialug] Mediacom fscking with web access?

I agree. It seems that some sites don't implement a normal "404" (there's a 302 redirect first). Slashdot and Digg are examples. On these sites, you get the customized 404 you'd expect.

Sounds like they are actually sniffing the HTTP return code in the traffic back to you. That seems like quite the misuse of power. What about those sites that work really hard at providing custom 404 pages that help the user find the information that they were initially looking for. All that work (and possibly revenue) down the toilet.
