How can I set a url to return a 410?

I found out how to set the 410 describing it here for anyone who finds this later, it’s just one dialogue deeper:

1. set a 404 in the action drop down
2. click the redirection in the list
3. In the edit dialog, select 410 as the http code

The problem is it’s still going to the 404 page with the 404 response. I’m using w3total cache and I don’t know if that’s related. Anybody experienced this issue or know how to resolve this?

Me wonder too..

Yes, I looked into the source and regardless of having set a 404 or 410 error, it always give a 404 status…
