Page-based error handler

The page error handler displays the content of a page in case of a certain HTTP status. The content of this page is generated via a TYPO3-internal sub-request.

The page-based error handler is defined in EXT:core/Classes/Error/PageErrorHandler/PageContentErrorHandler.php.

FeatureFlag: subrequestPageErrors

In order to prevent possible denial-of-service attacks when the page-based error handler is used with the curl-based approach, the content of the error page is cached in the TYPO3 page cache. Any dynamic content on the error page (for example content created by TypoScript or uncached plugins) will therefore also be cached.

If the error page contains dynamic content, TYPO3 administrators must ensure that no sensitive data (for example username of logged in frontend user) will be shown on the error page.

If dynamic content is required on the error page, it is recommended to implement a custom PHP based error handler.

The internal sub-request is disabled by default.
