 Hi JAPHs,
 
 Is it possible to force a 404-error from within a mod_perl CGI?
 
 I am working on my CMS and I want to generate a 404 if the user hacks
 the URI in a certain way: i.e, if the use passes a value in the URI that
 does reference a database record.  I can (and have) trapped such an
 event and thus I can display the appropriate Not found warning by
 using a CGI.pm redirect to my 404 page, but using redirect obviously
 updates the URL (as displayed on the browsers address line) to that of
 the 404 page, whereas I want the URL to continue to display the users
 request.
 
 Can I do this?

returning HTTP error code

[Helios de Creisquer]

Hi !

I've got a mod_perl script calling an external program which
use much memory. And I would like to send a 503 instead of
calling this external program when there is less than xxxMB
of memory free.

Is mod_perl provides this ability to decide to send 
an HTTP return code or another ?

Thx for your answers...

Cheers.

Wow, pretty simple, in fact, thx a lot ! :-)
