>Description:
We use Apache 1.3.0 with documents on an AFS file server. In the seldom
event of an AFS server failure (errno ETIMEDOUT for the file access, see
errorlog line below) Apache responds with an error "403 - Forbidden". 
I'd expect a "404 - File not found" error or a "503 Service Unavailable"
failure. Probably this could be changed in the sources only...

error.log:
[Fri Jul 24 00:00:02 1998] [error] (145)Connection timed out: access to ...
