I would like to chime in because I have a similar problem. When a user requests an image in my application that isn't available then I'd like to return a dummy image along with an HTTP response code 404. But as soon as I set the status to 404 or even abort(404) then no matter what I try I always get an HTTP response. Overriding functions isn't really my preferred way here either. It's one of the few occassions where the framework got in my way. :) Cheers Christoph
