Description

When a PHP FastCGI backend returns an error (for example, 500, internal server error), but no content, some browsers (Firefox) display an empty document without any indication of an error. This should be fixed in Firefox as well, but it'd also be nice if Lighttpd could generate the error document.

Currently, lighttpd supports dynamic error handler only for 403 and 404 status.

If the dynamic handler fails, then the lighttpd sets con->mode = DIRECT and an error document is served via server.errorfile-prefix, if set.

If the dynamic handler runs successfully, then whatever status it generates and whatever content it generates is taken as-is, since the handler ran successfully, and we must assume that it produced exactly what it wanted to produce.
