Robin Hood Web Server

404 Handler

MIME Types: application/x-vnd.RHV.404

Methods: *

Priority: 10

Suggested Virtual Resources:

VRes: pattern="*" type="application/x-vnd.RHV.404" real=false src="404.html";
This should be the last virtual resource for each host!

Virtual Resource Extras:

src - The virtual path to the template document. The default src is "404.html" if not specified.

The 404 Handler is used to display a more meaningful error message than "404 File Not Found" when a requested resource could not be located. It uses a template HTML document with SSI like inline tags to create the error message returned to the client. Robin Hood includes a simple template HTML document (located in the "server" subfolder of the Robin Hood directory) for you to use if you wish. The following inline commands are supported:

- The virtual path name of the requested resource.
- The name of the requested resource.
- The virtual host name.
- The URL which refered to the missing resource or "Unspecified Source" if not specified in the request.
- The host name of the refering host or "Unspecified Host" if not specified in the request.

This add-on module is probably a good starting point for writing your own add-on modules. The code is well commented and it's relatively simple.
