Kragen, I love Opera as much as anybody, but anybody still using Opera 3.5 has more severe problems having nothing to do with the browser. I don't even remember Opera offering an embedded version that early, so it couldn't be an old geek toy kept around for auld lang syne.

@dave1010 Thanks for this Gist, I'm using my fork in production (site in development at this time, but cats are go). -> https://jonathanteets.com/

@dave1010 I hadn't seen this before, vy nice novel application of this directive. I'm going to experiment with all 60+ ErrorDocuments to see, thanks for the idea!

Hi @dave1010, thanks for the inspiration, I just setup HTTP Status Cats on my website and decided to fork your htaccess file and make a few modifications. I included a few additions: changed to the HTTP Status Cats API, centered images using IFrames, added black backgrounds, added all available "status cats" codes, and created a python script to auto-generate all the ErrorDocument statements. https://gist.github.com/munchicken/c606774c0d0b519e4b5b7d2de16a8db2
