How do I setup Apache to return a 204 code?

Question

How do I setup Apache to return a 204(no-content) instead of a 404 code for a certain URL?

Answer 1

Putting together the Redirect documentation with the RedirectMatch documentation, we see that yes, we can send a custom 204 back. Here is a quick example that responds with 204 to any request matching foo with any characters after it.

 #RedirectMatch example using mod_alias 
 RedirectMatch 204 foo(.*)$
