You can't set an HTTP response code when one has already been sent down the wire to the client. It's in the nature of an output filter that the work is done in a callback, which (in general) only happens after the response has started, and too late to set a response code or headers. Thus the filter callback API isn't designed to set a status like a processing hook can when it determines the outcome of a request. The only way you can affect a response status is to return an error to your caller before passing anything down the chain. -- Nick Kew Available for work, contract or permanent. http://www.webthing.com/~nick/cv.html
