http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20330 sendError does not set HTTP status code Summary: sendError does not set HTTP status code Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.18 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Servlet & JSP API AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am running Tomcat 4.1.18 under JBOSS ... I am connecting to Tomcat directly (no mod_jk) ... I have an error page configured in my web.xml as follows: <error-page> <error-code>500</error-code> <location>/500.shtml</location> </error-page> When I add the following to my servlet: res.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR); the error page is returned, but the HTTP status and Content-type are incorrect. I used ethereal to sniff the response and see this: HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n ETag: W/"853-1051564868000"\r\n Last-Modified: Mon, 28 Apr 2003 21:21:08 GMT\r\n Content-Type: text/plain\r\n Content-Length: 853\r\n Date: Thu, 29 May 2003 16:45:53 GMT\r\n Server: Apache Coyote/1.0\r\n So why isn't the sendError causing the response status to be 500 and the Content-type set to text/html? The ultimate result of this problem is that my error document renders as plain text in Netscape ... IE ignores the Content-type header and renders it as HTML ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
