Comment (by apedog):

 I've had a similar issue when debugging 404/redirects on my local machine.
 I think 404 headers get cached and refresh doesn't help.

 The gist of it was if at any point while testing, I made the url to return
 a 404 - the browser would keep treating the url as a 404 - even if I
 changed it later. The 404 header is cached (i think) and the browser does
 not attempt a reload.

 Opening the browser's devtools and setting 'disable cache' will force new
 headers on every refresh.
