----------------------------- Please read the FAQ! <http://java.apache.org/faq/> ----------------------------- I am deciding whether to send a 200 OK message ( as per normal ) or a 403 Forbidden response, and not using Apache <Location> rules at all. My problem is only that the page I generate for my 403 is not returned by Apache. In fact if I set the response code to 200 OK Apache replaces my page. ErrorDocument allows four ways to specify which error page to return, text, locally generated from cgi, local page and remote page. As I generate responses from any of a number of servlets none of these seem appropriate. I need a way to just pass my pages through.

Who is doing the "forbidding" now?
