The title explains. When I Try to download nonexistent files, my program downloads 404 page of free hosting.

I TRIED patching. But it doesn't work

Here's my patch

--hostingnamehere 404 patcher START
  local patch = http.get("404 url here")
  if pInfo.readAll() == patch.readAll() then
	error("nil")
  else
  --hostingnamehere 404 patcher END

Note: pInfo is the thing my program downloads.
Note 2: Theres code down below else. So dont worry about it.
Note 3: I use error("nil") because i set the program so it makes a message about nil errors

Well, they are nonexistent. And all nonexistent stuff in the Internet gets redirected to the host's 404 page. So, trying to download a non existing file will redirect the URL request to the 404 page, meaning that will be the thing that will be downloaded.
Resuming the stuff in simpler words: Do not download non existing files.
