Hi Sean, Yes I am aware that a rewrite rule can do the trick, but it's just that I'd like to do it the I believe it should be done ;-)
> Explain exactly what it is you are trying to do at a high level. I'd like my website to server the correct http response when a document is moved, i.e. a 302 for permanent redirect. So in my .htaccess file I have for example Redirect permanent /somefile.htm http://www.tacofleur.com/file/ The problem is, when I request the file and look at the log file I see a 200 response, because the request is passed to ColdFusion I believe. ColdFusion then throws an error but not with the right status code. So really what I am after is similar behavior to IIS, you can tell it to check if the file exists before you pass it on to CF, I think that would solve my problem, and apache would finally use the Redirect rule in the .htaccess file...
