The Domino Web Configuration database (domcfg.nsf) allows you to redirect users to custom forms when a database, form, view, etc. is not found. Is it possible to do this will static HTML pages that are not found?
I tried creating a website rule with a 404 response header, however, it does not seem to work. Has anyone been able to achieve this? If so, please share. Thanks!
Subject: Custom 404 page for static HTML pages
I’ve never seen a method using a rule that responds to a 404, but it is possible to redirect them to a database document generated from an editable form.
Using the $$Return field I included a formula that redirected them to an error document of my own creation. The document was created using a form that had an editable field for the error message. Then I created a few different error messages and stored them hidden in the database.

How is this method used with a static HTML page? I understand how this would work with databases/documents/forms/views/etc but what would need to be placed in the HTML forms in order to achieve this?
