Mod Rewrite for Server Status 503, depending upon URL

[Ujjwal Kumar <ujjwal.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to redirect only if there is an error (server status 503). Without the error, this is the redirect script, which works fine:

Redirect /music http://google.com/music


Redirect /talk http://pidgin.com/some_gtalk_url

But, this redirects /music to http:// google.co/music in all cases. I want this redirect only in case of an error. This syntax:

ErrorDocument 503 http://google.com/music

redirects all urls with 503 error message to http://google.com/music. But, I want the /talk ones with 503 error messages to be redirected to https://pidgin.com/some_gtalk_url

Any clues on how to do it?

Few notes on the problem:

• /music is not a physical directory
• In one sentence, the problem is to redirect specific urls (a) to a page only if that specific url (a) has a 503 error.
• This problem is also discussed on stack overflow:�http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7387862/mod-rewrite-for-server-status-503-depending-upon-url
