Hi All,
As per https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html, [R] flag can be used to redirect to new location, along with overwriting default 302 status code.
I followed the same and with below configuration,
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/abcd
ErrorDocument 404 /test_error_404.json
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]

Expectation: With above config, expecting apache to return response status code as 404 and response body as content of test_error_404.json.

Observation:
Apache is sending the response status code as 302 and also not sending the content of test_error_404.json.
Below is the response.
< HTTP/1.1 302 Found

Pls let me know, how to send the response code as 404 along with content of test_error_404.json as response body.

Thanks in advance
