The only thing most host server do is set the correct status title (i.e. if you set "Status: 200" the host server should convert that header to "Status: 200 OK"). When sending non-200 responses you should know the HTTP protocol – when and what to send is very important for the greater model. http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html However, sending "canned responses" is something the host server can do much much better than a custom FastCGI app (you have stuff like mod_rewrite and cache metadta language in lighttpd which both can be used to do alot of things). > -- > > Eddie Carle > > This message has been signed with an RFC4880 signature.
