Error message lost through public proxy

[slominskir]

Leaving off a required field such as the timestamp from a request results in a nice error message internally, but a not so nice error when viewed from offsite:

Onsite:

Offsite:

This is likely due to line 44 of epicsweb.jlab.org:/etc/httpd/conf.d/epicsweb.conf

ProxyErrorOverride on

It should be:

ProxyErrorOverride on 405

Without qualification ALL errors are caught and Apache default Error Handler applied. We need to wait for a good time to restart to test this though.

Note: We trap the 405 in the first place due to this bug with Apache mod_auth_form: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54280

Note: We Use apache_mod_auth_form with mod_session because many clients are iPhones and we can't use HTTP Basic with Web Sockets due to this WebKit bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80362

Good theory. Didn't work though.
