Indeed this is the case! Thank you!

One can change IE's behaviour by opening
Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab
and unchecking the Show friendly HTTP error messages box

But this is just a work-around.
I hope that PmWiki will be able to handle this, perhaps by creating
an appropriate error page, which stops IE kicking in with "friendly"
'HTTP 404 - File not found' error messages.
Please Patrick can you look at this?
