It does, but only in content generators. You are working in a content filter, which occurs after any content-generator should have run (including the error generator itself). I expect that your only solution is to generate your own error page, however, I am not any kind of an expert in this niche you are asking about. > currently i generate my own errorpage with the statuscode as workaround > (but this is only a temp solution). so whats the correct way doing that? > > It should be done using the content generator. If an output filter runs and fails, the user really shouldn't end up with an entire 404. That should only really occur if the actual document wasn't found. But again, that is my opinion.
