I'd like to have more options about error responses. Where httpd is reverse 
proxy for an application that may fail, and I want to have httpd send nicer 5xx 
responses.

ProxyErrorOverride is a good starting point. Often I want to let through only 
some error pages: the ones explicitly coded to be shown to this website's 
visitors. If the backend fails and produces an unstyled page of jargon and 
diagnostics, I want httpd to intervene.

The application could signal to httpd that its response has a user-friendly 
body via a special header.

I don't think httpd can do what I have in mind yet (maybe with mod_lua, but 
that's too much for many webmasters).
