When pound returns an error status, it uses built-in
error-specific description code and status page template. These
values can be customized using the ErrorFile statement.
Read HTML page for HTTP status code code from file filename.
The code argument is a three-digit HTTP response status, and filename is the name of a file which supplies text of the error page to be returned. The file is read once, at program startup.
For compatibility with pound versions up to 4.11, the
following statement is also recognized:
Errnnn "filename"
where nnn is a three-digit HTTP status code. This statement is entirely equivalent to
ErrorFile nnn "filename"
Pound produces only a subset of all possible status codes,
so not all nnn codes are allowed. The discussion below lists
available HTTP codes, along with the error description and default
error page text.
