> Since you have to write the custom response page anyway, why not have > my-handler return it directly as a response? For various reasons: 1. I would like to keep things simple and centralized. I would need the error page on the apache anyway, in case a user types in a URL, that is not handled by "my-handler" - thus I don't want to deploy the error pages twice. 2. I want a to show the errorpage in case my-handler is down 3. I want the error page on the apache in case the handler renders crap or leaks a stacktrace 4. I want to use the handler as an out of the box / black box, with as few customizations as possible achim --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
