Description

I'm using mod_magnet for taking down the site for maintenance purposes. The maintenance page returns 503 as the HTTP status code. Lighttpd adds the default "503 - Service Not Available" to the page.

I know, I read your article before submitting this article :)
For now I'm just hiding the h1 tag using CSS.

Another interesting fix is just to put out a div with display:none at the end to hide any additional content that lighttpd tacks on. I discuss this strategy in brief here: http://blog.innerfence.com/2008/06/10/simple-maintenance-mode-scripts-for-lighttpd/
