Index: dict-ap_custom_response.html
===================================================================
<p>
This routine permits modules to provide a custom response body for
error pages instead of the standard ones provided by the core
server. This function has an effect quite similar to that of the
<code>ErrorDocument</code> directive, except that the API routine
only supplies a response body for the specified request rather than
a general one for all responses with the indicated status code, and the
body is a string, rather than a script or something to be invoked.
