When searching web for information Re: .htaccess and redirecting,
I see many different examples of methods.
I wish to be able to say "this is good method that I can always use"
even if exists other good methods.
There is not one way that will always work because there isn't
just one kind of server software.
The response codes (i.e. 404, 301, 500, etc.) *ARE* governed
by the htt protocol. They should be standard for any given
version of the protocol. But how the server software decides
which code to send is not regulated. Several kinds of servers
do use .htaccess files, but the syntax of the files is not
necessarily the same for different servers -- and all the
servers that use them can be configured to disable them;
many are so configured by default. Some servers do
not use .htaccess files at all.
You must discover what server software you are using and you
must consult the documentation for that specific server.
Searching the web for this documentation will not do any
good unless you know the kind and version of server you
are using.
