Apache httpd - Updating return code when Location header is present

1
votes

We have a custom web application, which is setting Location header to redirect to a new page, but application is sending a return code of 200 (instead of 302). Browser is ignoring the Location header and does nothing due to return code 200.

Custom application is front-ended (reverse proxy) by Apache web server.

Is there any way to update return code in Apache to 302, where Location header is present and return code is 200?

what is your application sending to apache? what interface are you using CGI? , fastCGI? - Jasen
Custom application is written in Java. It should have set return code of 302 when Location header is set. - Shinchan
no. code comes before header. - Jasen

if you're sending the return code on the first line of the response like

HTTP/1.1 302 Moved

you're doing everything right.

if you can't send the HTTP code perhaps you can get the effect you want with a refresh header.
