DESCRIPTION

These routines are used to generate complete responses, including headers, approriate status codes, content types, and possibly short HTML content messages for the most common HTTP error or status responses. They each coorespond to a particular HTTP status code, for example, Ns_ConnReturnNotFound generates an HTTP 404 "Not Found" response. They all return NS_OK if the response was sent or NS_ERROR if an underlying routine failed.

The default behavior is to return an internal, server generated response possibly with a short English language message, for example "The requested URL cannot be accessed by this server". This behavior can be modified by calling the Ns_RegisterRedirect to redirect responses internally for the cooresponding HTTP status code to another URL on the server. The "redirects" server config section can be used to map these redirects at startup

Returns an HTTP 400 response with the short HTML message "Invalid Request: The HTTP request presented by your browser is invalid." The optional msg string, if present, is also included in the message body.

Returns an HTTP 403 response with the short HTML message "Forbidden: The requested URL cannot be accessed by this server."

Returns an HTTP 500 response with the short HTML message "Server Error: The requested URL cannot be accessed due to a system error on this server."

Equivalent to Ns_ConnReturnStatus(conn, 204).

Returns an HTTP 404 response with the short HTML message "Not Found: The requested URL was not found on this server."

Returns an HTTP 404 response with the short HTML message "Not Implemented: The requested URL or method is not implemented by this server."

Equivalent to Ns_ConnReturnStatus(conn, 304).

Equivalent to Ns_ConnReturnStatus(conn, 200).

Generates a response with the given HTTP status with no content.

Returns an HTTP 401 response with the short HTML message "Access Denied: The requested URL cannot be accessed because a valid username and password are required." As "WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=server realm" header is also included in the response.

Redirect the above responses from the given server for the given status code from the simple internal messages described above to the given internal url. The redirect is performed using Ns_ConnRedirect.
