This has several implications, the most important being that the client will not receive the original error status code, but instead will receive a redirect status code. This in turn can confuse web robots and other clients which try to determine if a URL is valid using the status code. In addition, if you use a remote URL in an ErrorDocument 401, the client will not know to prompt the user for a password since it will not receive the 401 status code. <strong>Therefore, if you use an "ErrorDocument 401" directive then it must refer to a local document</strong>."</p> <p>I should have kept reading, lol...</p> Sat, 30 Mar 2002 02:15:34 +0000 Suzanne comment 1105790 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/server-side-scripting/htaccess-and-custom-error-pages#comment-1105789 <p><a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#errordocument" class="bb-url">http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#errordocument</a></p> <p>According to that, you can use all sorts of different paths. I'd try the other options first and see if they work. If not, perhaps the server admin would be able to identify if custom error documents are enabled?</p> Sat, 30 Mar 2002 02:14:01 +0000 Suzanne comment 1105789 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
