If I request a non-existant image on my site:

http://www.example.com/text.png

EE returns a 200 OK status code.

Is there anyway to return a 404 response?

this is more an issue with how you have your .htaccess setup for URL rewriting.

I have added:
```
<FilesMatch "(\.jpe?g|gif|png|bmp|css|js|flv)$">
  ErrorDocument 404 /404/index
</FilesMatch>
```
To my .htaccess, and still get a 200?

Solved. Added:
```
<?
    header( "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found" );
    exit;
?>
```
To my 404 page.
