5 404 redirects not working - ID: 1518426

Last Update: Comment added ( jgdavidson )

Details:

Internal redirects specified in the server config file stopped working in
aolserver 4.5.

Start 4.0.10 using the attached nsd.tcl. Go to a nonexistant url, you get

the custom 404 response served from /404/index.html.

Start 4.5 using the same nsd.tcl. Go to a nonexistant url, you get the
default aolserver 404 response.

Doesn't matter what you set the "ns_param 404" value to be -- it gets
ignored. No related messages in the server logs.

Date: 2006-07-07 23:18 Sender: jgdavidson Logged In: YES user_id=20624 I think this is correct. Technically, setting a redirect does an "internal redirect" to the cooresponding request procedure. In this case it's the file response code (called the "fastpath") which generates a normal 200 response. You could instead set the redirect to an ADP page with <% ns_conn status 404 %> to get back a 404 status if that's what's needed.
