[Xitami] custom error

I figured it out that apache actually "forwards" to an HTML page instead of
generating one. That's why it worked even with "friendly error messages"
checked. Any way this can be done with Xitami? So that it forwards to a
valid HTML page, so IE never knows it didn't exist? I found out that the
friendly error IS by default checked off... so majority of the people will
never see the custom message. Thanks for the help, that was insightful. Ke

If you want to see the web server generated (404, etc) error messages
in IE you have to disable "friendly error messages".
