"fallback" response code

Server NGINX
1

I’m using a custom perl script in the following way:

location ~ ^/resources {
error_page 404 @fallback;
}

location @fallback {
perl MyModule::handler;
}

The fallback works as expected, apart from that it always returns a 404
with content, rather than a 200.

Is there any way to force a 200 when I’m sending content back to the
browser from either the Perl script or from the @fallback block?

According with documentation:

Furthermore, it is possible to change the code of answer to another,
for example:
error_page 404 =200 /.empty.gif;

I suppose that this works well with @fallback

You may force 200 by using =200, but it’s not really what you
want since this will prevent you from doing 302 redirects and so
on. The above just uses return code of the fallback handler.

Or

error_page 404 = @fallback;

then it will be used the MyModule::handler’s response code.
