It's reporting exactly what the server tells it:

$ lynx -dump -head http://e-government.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/Resources/WebGuidelines/fs/en/
HTTP/1.1 404 Not found
Server: ""
Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2004 05:44:59 GMT
Content-type: text/html
Connection: close

There is no document at that URL.  Either that or it's Schrödinger's cat,
which would be bogus HTTP on the above headers.  Basically it's a broken
server.  That "Server" header suggests a server that's been broken by a
webmaster's clueless hacking - it's really
iPlanet-WebServer-Enterprise/4.1, which I don't know well enough to say
if it has inherent brokenness.
