http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25917 mod_rewrite should be capable of sending back a HTTP response of 404 (NOT FOUND) Summary: mod_rewrite should be capable of sending back a HTTP response of 404 (NOT FOUND) Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.1-HEAD Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: mod_rewrite AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] With mod_rewrite you can send back a whole series of HTTP responses: 302 (MOVED TEMPORARILY), 403 (FORBIDDEN), 410 (GONE), ... But an important one is missing: 404 (NOT FOUND). Why is this important? Let's assume the following situation: You create two new web resources that you want to be accessible via the URLs <http://foo.example/bar/> (first resource) and <http://foo.example/bar/something> (second resource), but no other URLs. At the moment the first resource is also available via <http://foo.example/bar/index.html> (if your DirectoryIndex is set to index.html) and there is no (simple) way to completely remove (that means answering to a request with a HTTP response of 404) this unwanted URL. A simple enhancement of mod_rewrite would solve this problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
