Today I got an interesting task. I had to upload some pdf documents to a site. The domain is ours, but we dont have access to the application server that is hosting the page yet. Until we get it in our hands, I did a trick.

I enabled mod_rewrite, mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http, then added the following lines to my apache config:

{% gist 47680bfa44eb29708f20 redirect-non-existing.conf %}

Im not totally sure its actually secure, but it works for now.
