502 results

[Chris Larson]

Is there a way to make 502 http responses report as failure? Right now
with our web app 502 = bad gateway and that is failure

[je...@joedog.org]

It doesn't report as a failure now?

I'm using this php page:
<?php
header('HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway');
?>

And here's my result:

LT $ siege -g www.joedog.org/502.php
