so i''d like to do the following map.connect ''some/path'', :controller => ''Foo'' if server.status == ''404'' in other words: if i get a 404 response, and a given path, i''d like to handle it by returning my own content. no- i don''t want a generic all-404 error page, i want to be able to handle individual 404s. Where is this useful? For an address book application where i don''t have photos of all the users, or similar. anyone able to help? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I hope i can hack rails or lighty into submission over this one. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
