Bug description
I'm developing a Quarto-website. When webpage rendered in local sessions (eg. Posit Workbench session or desktop Rstudio), clicking on broken links correctly re-direct to a custom 404 page. However when deployed on to Posit Connect as website (regardless as static or source code), the custom 404 page does not appear, it's just go to a blank page with tiny text 404 page not found.
I tried adding the Posit Connect Content URL link into site-url and site-path, didn't work either.
Steps to reproduce
All scripts below are in the project base directory.
_quarto.yml
project:
type: website
website:
title: "quarto_testing"
navbar:
left:
- href: index.qmd
text: Home
- about.qmd
format:
html:
toc: trueindex.qmd
---
title: "quarto_testing"
---
This is a Quarto website.
- Link to working page: [About Page](about.qmd)
- Link to broken page: [Broken page](broken.qmd)404.qmd
---
title: "My 404 test"
---
404 Testing page
about.qmd
---
title: "About"
---
About this site

```Actual behavior
When clicking on the "broken page", custom 404 page does not appear, it's just go to a blank page with tiny text 404 page not found.
But if I type 404.html into the URL address bar, the page do appear.
Expected behavior
When clicking on the "broken page", re-directs to 404.html page
