CirrusChanging HTTP Reponse status code
Hi,
I've been asked to change the reponse HTTP Status code for custom 404 pages to "404" instead of 200.
It looks like this is possible by checking if the request is for /404.jsp, capturing...

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
if { [HTTP::status] == "404" or [HTTP::status] == "501" }{
HTTP::redirect "/error/404.jsp"
}
} so, does this work?
by the way, have you ever tried HTTP::retry instead of HTTP::redirect? so, client does not need to send another request (i.e. /error/404.jsp).
HTTP::retry

It works in that the client is sent a 302 to the error page.
The condition I'm looking to modify is the subsequent request the client will make for the /error/404.jsp page.
We want the HTTP Status for this request to be 404.
Thanks!
