[users@httpd] apache changes status code from 500 to 200
RE: [users@httpd] apache adds extra HTML to an error pageUsing httpd on redhat 5
Problem: on an non 200 http status code, apache garbles output of web server by adding a default error document and changing the error code to 200.
When supplying a custom error document or none, the http status is changed to 200.
Thanks to previous help I am a step further in the migration process. The only bottle neck is this error code.Has anyone a clue what this might be. Is there a solution to this anyway, or it a bug?
In httpd.conf I put
ErrorDocument 500 " "
which results in (first line is output of script that performs the request, the rest is the http response):
#<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>
<!DOCTYPE HTML
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<HTML xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>agent</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<BODY>
<P>ERROR</P><P>database lookup failure</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
thanks, Ruud

hi Pete,
too bad, this makes no difference. And if I use an errordocument (which is a registry script with that perloptions set) I get the same result.
I keep getting apache interference:
#<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>
<!DOCTYPE HTML
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<HTML xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>agent</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<BODY>
<P>ERROR</P><P>database lookup failed</P>
</BODY>
</HTML><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>200 OK</title>
</head><body>
<h1>OK</h1>
<p>The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete
your request.</p>
<p>Please contact the server administrator,
webmaster@sdu.nl and inform them of the time the error occurred,
and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.</p>
<p>More information about this error may be available
in the server error log.</p>
</body></html>
Maybe I should stop using error codes to communicate error situation with the receiver... :(

Firstly, it turns out that it isn't a CGI script but rather a mod_perl2
registry script - different beast entirely. And given that, I'm
surprised that you aren't using
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
as suggested in the docs at
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html#Registry_Scripts
Perhaps that will provide the functionality which you require.

I have put this in my httpd.conf:
<Location /cgi>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry
Options ExecCGI
ErrorDocument 400 /handlers/400.h
</Location>
<Location /handlers>
SetHandler send-as-is
</Location>
What I would really like to obtain is that the output of my cgi script (being a complete html document including headers) is not handled by any error handler.
I cannot add the set-as-is hanlder to the cgi script, because that needs the perl-script handler. I suspect that using the ErrorDocument is a dead alley, because that introduces code 200.
In the meantime, I have tried everything I could think of.
Right now, I'm out of ideas. How can I get the status of the cgi-script untampered to the requestor? Hope you have more inspiration ;)

I have put this in my httpd.conf:
<Location /cgi>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry
Options ExecCGI
ErrorDocument 400 /handlers/400.h
</Location>
<Location /handlers>
SetHandler send-as-is
</Location>
I can see that the mentioned file is used, but still the status is changed to 200. But is was worth trying. It sounded promising....
Thanks, Ruud

Sounds like you want mod_asis:
