[mp1] redirect in ErrorDocument

[Carl Johnstone <mo...@fadetoblack.me.uk>]

In an Apache::Registry  ErrorDocument (e.g. ErrorDocument 404 /my404.pl )

This doesn't work:

  $r->header_out('Location', $newurl);
  $r->status(302);
  return OK;


Apache returns an error saying that my 404 handler returned a 302 error. 
Does the same if I use err_header_out

Yet enabling "PerlSendHeader On" and doing:

  print "Location: $newurl\n\n";

works fine.


I'd prefer to get the first way working - any ideas?

No, it does convert the Location header into a 302 response, although it
doesn't add the body content like returning a 302 in the main request does.

I'm not sure apache will let you do this.

What are the complete headers that sends?  I'm guessing it sends a 200
status and it only works because your browser is broken and follows the
redirect anyway.

Not sure but give err_headers_out a try?
