Hi,

Thanks for your reply!
Use case; I'm setting up a transparent proxy and I don't want the users to
be able to set flags etc. I also don't want to reveal that there's a
transparent proxy there.

If the request can't be served due to a failure, I'd expect the users to
see a normal browser generated error page.

I will check out the templates and see if I can solve it through there.
