Where did the epsg number 42304 come from? It is from an ESRI project? 
If so you might try using esri:42304 instead of epsg:42304

epsg is an organization the publishes standard projections code and 
definitions. esri also has their own set of codes and definitions. There 
are separate files for these to lists specifically epsg and ersi.
