l Respond on error: Enter a message to be sent to the client as the output file if the process encounters
an error and is unable to send a reply that includes the actual output file. The information can be in any
desired format such as HTMLor plain text, but most browsers will interpret it as plain text.
l Send immediate response to client:Do not wait for the process to finish and send a static HTMLor
Text file back to the client instead. This prevents any timeout from occurring. When checking this
option, the field under the option is used to select which file to return.
l Use custom HTTPserver response code:When the process ends and a response is sent to the
requesting client, a custom response code can be specified depending on how the process goes.
While in previous versions the "200 OK"code was always used, this option overrides it to, for
example, "404 Not Found"or "401 Unauthorized".
l Variable containing the response code:The contents of the job information or local variable
selected in this drop-down, presumed to be a valid response code, will be returned in the
response header. This is the value that is present at the end of the process, not the beginning.
