Thank you for answering, Christophe. Appreciated. The ErrorDocument directive changes the *body* of an error message. This is not what I want. I want to change what is known in the HTTP protocol as "reason phrase".
I'm not sure your Perl test is testing the right thing, but I have to admit that my Perl skills are rusty. Let me show a Curl test: My .asis file looks like this: --- file begin Status: 401 Blablabla<CR><LF> Content-type: text/plain<CR><LF> <CR><LF> How are you doing?<LF> Okay, I hope.<CR><LF> --- file end (I've played around with line endings. I've tried to make the file fully HTTP compliant, thinking that would help, meaning I only use a single <LF> within the body, while I use <CR><LF> everywhere else. The Handler is called 'as-is' so my expectation is that such file will be sent as-is on the wire. In any case, it doesn't seem ti make a difference) And then a curl test: curl --verbose http://mytest.lbruun.net/ --- curl output begin * About to connect() to mytest.lbruun.net port 80 (#0) * Trying 207.180.233.34... * Connected to mytest.lbruun.net (207.180.233.34) port 80 (#0) > GET / HTTP/1.1 > User-Agent: curl/7.29.0 > Host: mytest.lbruun.net > Accept: */* > < HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Date: Fri, 05 Mar 2021 17:38:08 GMT < Server: Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips < Last-Modified: Fri, 05 Mar 2021 17:38:04 GMT < ETag: "99-5bccd8bdbc707" < Accept-Ranges: bytes < Content-Length: 153 < Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 < Status: 401 Blablabla Content-type: text/plain How are you doing? Ok, I hope. * Connection #0 to host mytest.lbruun.net left intact --- curl output end As you can see it clearly picks up my .asis file. So misspelled handler name is certainly not the problem. However, as you can see the status code is still 200. In my example I expected it to be 401. To be more precise I would expect curl output line which currently reads... < HTTP/1.1 200 OK instead to be < HTTP/1.1 401 Blablabla I hope it is now a bit clearer. I think perhaps the misunderstanding is that I expect the "Status" header to override the real HTTP status when the server sends its output, rather than leaving such override for the HTTP client to interpret.
