A plugins that sends HTTP 410 (Gone) responses to requests for pages that no longer exist on your blog.

== Description ==

This plugin will issue a HTTP 410 response to articles that no longer exist on your blog. When you delete a post or page, it records the URL for that page and issues a 410 response when that URL is requested. You can also manually manage the list of obsolete URLs.

The [HTTP Specification](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.11) defines the `410` response header for use when a resource has been permanently removed. It informs robots visiting your site that the requested content has gone, and that they should stop trying to access it.
