    Hi,

    Expression engine should serve ‘site unavailable’ pages with a 503 header instead of a normal/ok header.

    This is very important for both SEO/google ranking as well as caching/load balancing/failover services.

    Regards

    Good catch on that one, afrihost.  I’ll bring that one up with the developers.  Response headers have been improved in a number of spots, but there are clearly some places it’s still an issue.
