Is there a good way to return a 404 error from the AUTOLOAD run mode,
or inside a normal run mode (such as when a bad parameter value comes
in)? I know I can return a not found page programmatically that has
a 200 status, but I want a real 404 error for some applications.
I use something like this:
sub not_found {
my $self = shift;
$self->header_props(-status => '404 (pretending to be) Not Found');
return '';
}
so I can return $self->not_found() from other run-modes conveniently.
To the browser, its pretty much indistinguishable from a "real" apache
404. The "(pretending to be)" string only shows up in the HTTP status
headers and of course you can make it more authentic-looking by leaving
that bit out.
Also you can customize the "stock" apache 404 error page by returning
something other than an empty string. I'd recommend: "We're sorry.
Your bank account database records all appear to have been deleted. If
you feel you've reached this message in error..."
Since its not a real apache 404, if you want these to be logged in the
error log, you might want to print STDERR "Something" there yourself.
