[edit reason] no personal urls please TOS [webmasterworld.com] [/edit]
When a user clicks a link on a site, they should not be redirected to some other URL. Link to the URL that you want the user to 'see' and 'use', and use a rewrite (not a redirect) to connect that URL request to the true script location.
There must be some error in your code if the server returns a 404 error for this. Let's see that code.
<?php
require_once 'include/catalog.inc.php';
require_once 'include/url_factory.inc.php';
require_once 'include/url_redirect.inc.php';
require_once 'include/simple_pager.inc.php';
$category_id = $_GET['category_id'];
$categories = Categories::get($category_id);
$category = $categories[0];
$category_name = $category['name'];
$category_first_header = $category['bch2'];
$category_first_header_content = $category['bch2c'];
$category_second_header = $category['bch22'];
$category_second_header_content = $category['bch22c'];
$category_third_header = $category['bch23'];
$category_third_header_content = $category['bch23c'];
$category_metadescription = $category['metadesc'];
$category_metakeywords = $category['metakw'];
$page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 1;
$proper_url = make_category_url($category['name'], $category_id, $page);
fix_category_url($proper_url);
$products = Products::get(0, $category_id);
if (!$products) {
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
exit();
}

if (!$products) {
Add some debugging lines:
print_r($_GET);
var_dump($categories);
Once you can see what's actually being passed to the page, it should make sorting this out much easier. :)
If none of that debugging information shows up, then it is probably an issue with the redirect. In which case, we should still be able to help you here or you can post that code to the Apache forum [webmasterworld.com].
