[TYPO3] HEAD returns 200 instead of 404

[Dennis Cheung]

"Status: 404 Not Found" is a CGI style command header, CGI engines will
handle this and send "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found".

But, if you are using "mod_php" in apache, it may not handle that, and let
it send to client side.

You can try remove the mod_php and using CGI or FastCGI. You can see the
different.
