[Xitami] Site redirects

[Francis Turner]

Looks to me like once you enable errors.gsl you can then tinker to
your hearts content. For example I just verified that the following
tiny errors.gsl will redirect to idx.php with two relevant get fields
the page (pg) and the referer (ref)

There is no reason at all why you cannot fully specify the URL so that
it goes to a different domain. And, if you muck around with the
permissions, no reason why this should only apply to errors i.e. to
URLs that do not exist. Alternatively you could do a check on
errorcode and only do the redirect if it is a 404 but otherwise leave
the standard error page

.output tempfile
<HTML><TITLE>Error - $(errorcode)</TITLE>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh"
content="1;url=/idx.php?pg=$(server_url:)$(substr
(urlbase,1,,))&ref=$(HTTP_referer:)">
<BODY><H1>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#ABCDEF">
<TABLE CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" BORDER="0" WIDTH="100%">
<TR><TD COLSPAN=3 BGCOLOR="#123456" ALIGN="center"><FONT
COLOR="#FF6666"><H2>Web Server Error $(errorcode)</H2>
<H3>$(errortext:)</H3>
.if defined (message)
<P>$(message:)
.endif
</font>
</body></html>
