All,

I have been writing simple cgi scripts for a long time but have never worried about the error codes.  Now I have been asked to return a specific error and I have no idea how to do this.  I do not even know if I should be returning an HTTP or URL error.  If I understand correctly, I am supposed to return something similar to say a 500 error.  I think this is a HTTP error and I tried a few things but no luck. 

Thanks for the ideas.
