Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0.13 Configuration File Reference

send-error

Applicable in Error-class directives.

The send-error function sends an HTML file to the client in place of a specific HTTP response status. The server can therefore present an explanatory message describing the problem. The HTML page may contain images and links to the server’s home page or other pages.

Note –

The send-error function can be used to configure messages from the proxy server only and does not work for configuring messages in place of HTTP responses from web server.
