    URL Rewrite Module 1.1: statusDescription is not returned in a CustomResponse

    Reply Contact

    To reproduce the issue, please prepare a HTTP response capturer, create a new folder in your web site, and create a web.config file with the following code:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
	<system.webServer>
		<httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" />
		<rewrite>
			<rules>
				<rule name="Test" stopProcessing="true">
					<match url="test" ignoreCase="true" />
					<action type="CustomResponse" statusCode="410" statusReason="Gone" statusDescription="The requested resource is no longer available at the server and no forwarding address is known." />
				</rule>
			</rules>
		</rewrite>
	</system.webServer>
</configuration>

    Expected behavior:
    "The file has been removed." (The statusDescription) is returned.

    Actual result:
    HTTP/1.1 410 Gone
    Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
    Date: Tue, 19 May 2009 16:18:42 GMT
    Content-Length: 0
    (Nothing is returned in the response.)

    Below line makes the difference.

    <httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" />, if you replace it with "Replace" or "Auto", the description will be there.

    Unfortunately, no... If the setting is replaced by "Replace" or "Auto", the custom error will be replaced by IIS's error pages.

    I have modified the statusDescription text to show the difference more clearly.

    Well, if you have this line in web.config,

     <httpErrors existingResponse="Replace" errorMode="Custom"/>

    IIS 7 always return follow text no matter what you specify for statusdescription which I belive it is the default IIS description for 410.

    "The page you requested was removed."

     

    If you have this line in web.config, IIS returns detailed error message with your statusdescription.

     <httpErrors existingResponse="Replace" errorMode="Detailed" />

    HTTP Error 410.1 - Gone

    The requested resource is no longer available at the server and no forwarding address is known.

     

    Is this meet your requirement?

    <httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" /> was set because I want to return some error messages generated by PHP. (http://forums.iis.net/t/1157703.aspx)

    How may I have both kinds of error messages displayed?
