Hi,

I have an old blog that I no longer update, so I converted its content to static HTML pages. This static version is being served by Hiawatha perfectly.

However, I am getting a lot of hits for the blog's feed URL (which is no longer there), and thus, there are a lots of 404s being returned. I was wondering if there's a way (using Hiawatha's URL toolkit, perhaps) to return "410 Gone" for each request asking for the feed URL. The manual for URL toolkit doesn't mention returning a specific HTTP code, so I though to ask here to see if it's possible...

Thanks.

Hiawatha version: 9.2
Operating System: Arch Linux

Try this configuration:

UrlToolkit {
  ToolkitID = 410_gone
  RequestURI exists Return
  Match .* Rewrite /410.php
}

410.php:

<?php
  header("Status: 410 Gone");
?>

Thanks, Hugo. This works great. (The 404 page can now rest!)
