HTTP status in groovy?

[miles zarathustra]

I have a groovy page that looks like this:

def status = 500

response.status = status
println "STATUS $status"

but it doesn't work:

[u0100050-lx-~/tmp] curl -D hdr.txt http://localhost:6080/indexOK.groovy
STATUS 500
[u0100050-lx-~/tmp] cat hdr.txt
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 22:55:32 GMT


I tried using setStatus() instead, and casting response first, but neither helped.
The JSP version works just fine.

Anybody have any clues? Or does this just not work in Groovy?
If it's a state exception I should see it, right?

Thanks,

What do you mean it doesn't work?

[u0100050-lx-~/tmp] curl -D hdr.txt http://localhost:6080/indexOK.groovy
STATUS 500

Oh wait...You're saying the actual returned status isn't 500. Let me dig in on that...

This is just a guess because I can't test this out right now for myself, but try one of the following:

response.status = 500

or

int status = 500
response.status = status

See if either / both of those work.
