How can I change the response status from a component to the server (SSR) in Angular v19

I am working on an Angular v19 project with SSR enabled for better SEO. I have two components:

• A detail component that displays the details of an entity.
• A 404-page-not-found component that is shown when the entity does not exist.

If the entity does not exist, I want to redirect the user to the 404 page and return a 404 HTTP status instead of 200.

Currently, when I make a curl request to the URL of a non-existing entity, I receive the correct 404 page content, but the HTTP status remains 200 instead of 404.

Is there a way to modify the HTTP status code to 404 from inside my 404-page-not-found component when running Angular with SSR? If not, what would be the correct approach to achieve this behavior?

Any help would be appreciated!
