RE: [cobalt-users] Custom 404 error page

Hi,

They are left overs from redirecting the Nimba worm. They were suggested
sometime ago in this forum.

You might not need them.

Very many thanks to all the kind list members who contributed. I learned a
lot and I think the archive has been improved a little since this thread
will be easier to search and follow than the previous ones.

I'm embarassed to say it turns out it was working after all. I just couldn't
see it on my connection. I've got cable modem (Blueyonder, in the UK) and
I've suspected before that it's rubbish - DNS changes etc take hours longer
to be seen on it that on other connections. I've just connected to a dialup
with an analog modem and my 404 is working fine. (I should say in fairness
that downloading large files on BY is very fast.)

Just two (unrelated and possibly OT) loose ends to tie up:

1. Can anyone suggest anything I can do to work around Blueyonder's
ludicrous cache policy?

2. What do the lines

RedirectMatch (.*)\cmd.exe$ http://127.0.0.1
RedirectMatch (.*)\default.ida$ http://127.0.0.1
RedirectMatch (.*)\root.exe$ http://127.0.0.1

in Erik Venema's access.conf do?

Thanks again everyone

Eddie Bishop
