A filter is the wrong place to set an error status. Your filter function is a callback, and in general will be called after the response status has already been sent to the client. The exception to that is in the first call to your filter function. But if you're relying on that, it points to a problem in your design. Though in that case, you can still set r->status and return APR_EGENERAL, and hope the content generator (which is in control) does what you want. -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/
