I want to have my Perl script, upon getting the wrong CGI parameters, to give a status 404. Then, the ErrorDocument for 404 goes back to that same Perl script but with the CGI parameter ?page=error404.
That's the right technique, Colin. Have you imported the constant before using it?
for example see http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/modperl-2.0/ModPerl-Registry/t/cgi- bin/status_change.pl?rev=1.3&view=markup
I wasn't importing the constant (because I was explicitly referencing the Apache:: namespace), but I tried your suggestion, and it produces the same results (i.e., the server returns an empty page, rather than the 404 ErrorDocument).
Yes, sorry, I meant compiling it (in case it wasn't yet compiled), not importing it.
Perhaps I have the wrong impression of how 404 errors work. The way I understand it, my script is supposed to return a 404 status and no content. Then, Apache parses this and sends to the browser the 404 status along with the 404 ErrorDocument. Is this correct?
Sounds right. May be the ErrorDocument gets on the way and mishandles it? Try modifying the config in modperl-2.0/ModPerl-Registry/t/ and see if you can break that test, since it does exactly what you try to, but there is no explicit ErrorDocument setting. To simplify things
(The same situation occurs when I send content (even just a Content-Type header) along with the 404 status as when I do not send content.)
Maybe there's an example somewhere of how to properly send a status other than 200 under mod_perl 2.0?
Please see the tests (there is more than one that returns 404/NOT_FOUND)
Thanks for your continuing assistance.
You're welcome
