I’ve posted the source to the Lighttpd bug tracking system in hopes it will be added to a future version of Lighty.  http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/1446

This addition should help the Lighty web server to be capable of handling the appropriate HTTP status codes for all situations that may arise for the web site in question.
