http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37494 Summary: ErrorDocment 401 with redirect to external URL Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.46 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Core AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would like to propose a change in the behavior of ErrorDocument 401. Today, it cannot be specified as a link to an external server. I see the point in the documentation, which states: "In addition, if you use a remote URL in an ErrorDocument 401, the client will not know to prompt the user for a password since it will not receive the 401 status code. Therefore, if you use an ErrorDocument 401 directive then it must refer to a local document." However, this is exactly what I would like to do. I have a page which should be reachable by username/password only, and only using a scripted solution. Any other visitors should get redirected to a different site. I don't want users that access the page without username to get a password prompt, I want them to be redirected out of there. Therefore, I suggest removing the special treatment of 'ErrorDocument' for error code 401. Perhaps replace it with a warning (although that would clutter up my logs, I can live with it..) // J -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
