that's odd. the above code essentially acts as though the user
entered /not_ok_page.html in their browser all by themselves. maybe I
incorrectly assumed that's what you were looking for?

Apache only gives handlers one shot at translating the URI to a
filename. So, you can either trick apache by changing the URI and
returning DECLINED, which lets Apache handle the translation for you,
or map the filename yourself (as you do below) and return OK.

it's early here, and I haven't had my coffee yet, but what you're
written should be essentially the same as the short snipped I provided
(save the possibility of redirecting to an offsite URL).
