Tim Donohue commented on DS-768:
--------------------------------
Also verified that this fix works for me (on Trunk code), by using FireFox 5 >
Web Developer > Web Console.
Currently, Trunk code responds with 200 for invalid paths:
[11:25:38.147] GET http://localhost:8080/xmlui/NOTAPATH [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 94ms]
However, if I just drop in Kim's JAR file and restart Tomcat, it responds 404
(as it should):
[11:43:16.288] GET http://localhost:8080/xmlui/NOTAPATH [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
2953ms]
Again, this was just a simple test, but it definitely does fix the HTTP
Response issues. So, I'm satisfied and would like to see this committed to
Trunk for 1.8 & 1.8 Testathon (assuming no other concerns exist from others)
> All XMLUI Error Pages respond with 200 OK, instead of 404 Not Found

> Key: DS-768
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-768
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: XMLUI
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.6.2, 1.7.0
> Reporter: Tim Donohue
> Assignee: Kim Shepherd
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.8.0
>
> Attachments: [DS-768]_dspace-cocoon-servlet-service-impl-1_0_2.patch,
> dspace-cocoon-servlet-service-impl-1.0.2.jar
>
>
> In DSpace 1.7.0 RC1, the XMLUI "Page Not Found" page responds with a 200 OK,
> rather than the necessary 404 Not Found error.
> For example:
> http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/NOTAVALIDPATH
> I believe this used to function properly in 1.6.x, but it seems to be broken
> now.
> Obviously, we want this to return a 404 Not Found, in order to ensure that
> search engines do not index "Page Not Found" responses.
> Furthermore, it has been discovered that all other XMLUI Error pages (Cocoon
> Errors or Invalid Continuation errors) also respond with 200 OK. In
> addition, it seems this affects all 1.6.x versions of DSpace, as the same
> responses can be found on http://dspace.mit.edu (currently running 1.6.0 with
> patches), and http://researchspace.auckland.ac.nz (currently running 1.6.2
> with patches).
