ah, so what i really have to do, then, is change ctx.status?
i just skimmed through the (not very user-friendly) documentation looking
for how to tell the server to issue a 404, and found notfound(). i wanted
it to reply with a 404 code and also send the contents of 404.html. i'll try
changing ctx.status.
the reason i wrote the routine is essentially so that the browser can access
status/somefile.ext with a uri of domain.net/somefile.ext instead of
domain.net/static/somefile.ext.
ok, changing web.ctx.status worked. i still can't get the images to render,
though. i tried adding header('Content-Type', 'image/gif') and changing the
file mode from 'r' to 'rb', still doesn't work.
