Does ASP.NET Custom Errors override the actual HTTP response code?

Question

If I were to specify a page for redirect using the ASP.NET Custom Errors feature, would my application still spit out the HTTP status code for that particular error?

For example if had a line in my web.config that had all Internal Server Errors redirect to Errors/500.aspx and then I encountered a 500 error, I would then be redirected to my custom Errors/500.aspx page. Will my application still respond with a HTTP 500 at any point in this exchange?

I'm just curious...

No, because your browser would interpret that 500 response as an error and show you it's error. Instead, it probably responds with one of the redirect status codes to send you to the defined error page.
