This is still related to my recent posts re: custom HTTP errors. A part of me wants to believe that Domino can handle this like other servers! …people actually use Domino servers in a non-NSF capacity (though I understand the benefits of having those “other” files (HTML, Images, PDF…) in a Notes Db for security, etc… Needless to say, that doesn’t stop some people from accessing old URLs or “browsing” when they should not be. I have been 80% successful -w- NSF-centric URLs and even non-NSF URLs when IE’s “Show Friendly HTTP Messages” is disabled. Obviously, disabling a default IE setting is not feasible. This was all done with $$ReturnGeneralError and/or custom header response. Started searching the web… found this and was wondering if it (or similar) could be used?
note: this is an iRule solution… am hoping that Domino (like other HTTP servers) can do this or something similar. I know it would help many, many admins.
when HTTP_RESPONSE { if { [HTTP::status] eq “404” } { redirect to “http://10.10.10.1/en_US/error.html” } }
***I’m still wondering how ibm.com makes it work with IE’s feature enabled. On the iSeries, I know that Apache can be used as the HTTP server. Would this make a difference?
