Apache 0.8.8, bug or feature? (fwd)
I don't think I've noticed this problem mentioned before.

I'll send a "we'll look into it" response to him.

> 0.8.8 looks pretty damn good! Congratulations. I've had some interesting

> AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
> ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.cgi

> In 0.6.5 this would cause a 403 error to redirect to the cgi script in
> /errors, which is what I would expect. Under 0.8.8 it seems to be unable to
> redirect to a cgi script, but it will redirect to a .html file. This also
> has a side effect of the error not being logged in the error_log. BTW, the
> /errors directory does have EXECCGI enabled. This feature was working fine
> before 0.8.8 (0.6.5).
