Post subject: 404 Question
Archived from groups: alt>www>webmaster (more info?)

Is there a way to have some code that if someone goes to a page that is a
404, it runs an SSI.
As an example, if someone went to the webpage www.url.com/test1.shtml, the
404 would load the following:
<!--#include virtual="page.cgi?test1.shtml" -->
On the other hand, if someone went to the webpage www.url.com/test2.shtml,
the 404 would load the following:
<!--#include virtual="page.cgi?test2.shtml" -->
Thanks |

If you're loading files, if someone goes to a specific URL, then it isn't
really a 404. What you're talking about sounds more like a redirect.

It doesn't really matter if you want to call it a 404 or a redirect. It is
however a 404 because those urls don't exist. In either case, I'm wondering
how it would be done.

What server code are you going to be returning?

You can set your site to use any page for error 404 (or any other error, for
that matter). The page can be anything that works on your site (htm, ASP,
CGI, etc). The page can do anything you like, including temporary or
permanent redirection.
The request object holds the info you need, such as the URL the user
actually asked for.
Redirection as you describe it is very common. In my case I reorganized the
site completely a while back. My error404.asp has a table of pages that got
moved, so when there's a request for one of the old URLs, the user gets a
permanent redirection to the new URL and the page is displayed without the
user seeing any error message at all.

Essentially, the cgi script page.cgi creates the webpage dynamically.
This way someone could type the url <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.url.com/asasdflhjdf.html" target="_blank">http://www.url.com/asasdflhjdf.html</a> or
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.url.com/test.html" target="_blank">http://www.url.com/test.html</a> and both would get redirected to the page.cgi
script.
In the first case, they would go to
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.url.com/page.cgi?asasdflhjdf.html" target="_blank">http://www.url.com/page.cgi?asasdflhjdf.html</a> and in the second case they
would go to <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.url.com/page.cgi?test.html" target="_blank">http://www.url.com/page.cgi?test.html</a>
In each case, the url in the address bar would be what they typed, but by
using ssi, the page that shows would generate dynamically.

In that case, what you are doing is a Very Bad Thing, so quit doing
it. You can cause serious problems with search engines unless you are
returning the correct status codes.
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/spec.html" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/spec.html</a>
It is OK to have customized pages so long as you also return the
correct status code. This includes the 301 and 302 status codes.

I'm not following, what is bad about it?
All I want to do is if someone types in the wrong url, it goes to a 404 page
as if the page the person typed in actually existed. I don't want a generic
404 page, just a page that looks like what the surfer requested.
