OK is not 200. OK is 0, HTTP_OK is 200. 'tis always been this way :) > etc. But this isn't true under > mod_perl 2 (as far as I can tell). mp1 assumed that if you returned 200 (HTTP_OK) you really meant 0 (OK). this is no longer true with mp1. if you do the right thing (return OK, not HTTP_OK) then both mp1 and mp2 do the right thing. in general, you should never worry about $r->status - whether you're in mp1 or mp2, your handler() subroutine should always return either one of OK, DECLINED, or DONE, or some HTTP _error_ code (like 500, 304, etc). over in httpd land apache will translate your return value into a suitable value of $r->status (which isn't always the same as what you returned, such as when you're in an ErrorDocument it will force $r->status to whatever the original error status was if your ErrorDocument returns 500).
