Re: Support for http return code 451? (Apache Users)

What do you mean by "support"?

If you have an application you can already send that header and an error message explaining it. The RFC says:

Responses using this status code SHOULD include an explanation, in the response body, of the details of the legal demand: the party making it, the applicable legislation or regulation, and what classes of person and resource it applies to.

which is likely handled in application code too if you are generating the header there.

I submitted a patch for support for mod_rewrite and other internals to use that error.

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58985

That would let you set the error with something like mod_rewrite (RewriteRule .* - [R=451]), but you wouldn't get a custom error message like the RFC suggests.
