[opencms-dev] Re: Declare http status (404/301/...) in JSP

are you sure this is the same problem? I would think, this is
for the handling of "real" 404s, means that a requested file
is not available in VFS. Isn't that fixed already?

What I'm talking about is to explicitly set a http response in
a jsp page (f.e. based on request parameters, an id of my own
database content, where no content is returned for this id).
I can set a 404 in response object, but it is never sent to
browser, it obviously is replaced by OpenCms with a 200 status
again.
