retain params while redirecting 404 error to script
Hi guys,
I was wondering if you have any solution to this problem:
Like Hotmail, I am trying to customise a 404 error message to run a Perl script.
So for example if I type http://abc.com/myfile.doc?id=101, Apache should catch this as a 404 error.
I have configured Apache to handle 404 errors via the following:
AllowOverride FileInfo
ErrorDocument 404 /cgi/download.pl
Basically Apache calls the script. But because the script requires a parameter (in the above example, 'id'), the value did not get passed over.
Is there any solution to this problem? If so, please advise.

When running into these types of problems, it is always best to see ALL
the variables that apache is giving you. For example, try pointing your
ErrorDocument 404 at /cgi-bin/printenv or a similar script.
If you did this, you would see that the QUERY_STRING from the original
request is available in REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING.
It would be nice if this was documented.
Joshua.

Hello Stephen,
Thanks for replying to my question. Can you elaborate on mod_rewrite?

Sounds like a job for mod_rewrite...
