Hello,

My question is this: when Smarty's exception handling gets triggered and an error is displayed, would it be possible for the response to have a 503 HTTP status code (if no output has been made already by that time)?

Although screw-ups shouldn't happen in a live production application, sometimes the reality in the real world is that something goes wrong, or a "simple and safe" change to the application or a template messes up. It'd be useful if a screwed page can have a 503 header so the search engines know there's nothing here to see today.

On another note, and not directly related to my main question above, I noticed there was some debate going back a couple of years about the issue of Smarty's exception handling, whether there should be a mechanism to disable it, and if so how, etc. etc. I don't know if that debate was ever concluded to everyone's complete satisfaction. I would be interested to know if it has.

You can catch the Smarty exceptions by PHP try/catch and send the header in case of an exception.

Many thanks - I will do it that way.
