If $X, Y$ are topological spaces, let $\newcommand{\Cont}{\text{Cont}}\Cont(X,Y)$ denote the collection of continous maps $f:X\to Y$, and we endow $\Cont(X,Y)$ with the product topology inherited from $Y^X$.

Question. GivenIs there a topological space $X$, can we always find$(X,\tau)$ with $\tau\neq\{\emptyset, X\}$ such that there is a topological space $Z$ such thatwith $\Cont(X,Z) \cong X$?
