### Custom errors
In case of an error in a request the body of the response is obtained from the `default backend`. Each request to the default backend includes two headers:
- `X-Code` indicates the HTTP code
- `X-Format` the value of the `Accept` header
In case of an error in a request the body of the response is obtained from the `default backend`.
Each request to the default backend includes two headers:
Using this two headers is possible to use a custom backend service like [this one](https://github.com/aledbf/contrib/tree/nginx-debug-server/Ingress/images/nginx-error-server) that inspect each request and returns a custom error page with the format expected by the client. Please check the example [custom-errors](examples/custom-errors/README.md)
- `X-Code` indicates the HTTP code to be returned to the client.
- `X-Format` the value of the `Accept` header.
**Important:** the custom backend must return the correct HTTP status code to be returned. NGINX do not changes the reponse from the custom default backend.
Using this two headers is possible to use a custom backend service like [this one](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/tree/master/examples/customization/custom-errors/nginx) that inspect each request and returns a custom error page with the format expected by the client.

NGINX sends aditional headers that can be used to build custom response:
- X-Original-URI
- X-Namespace
- X-Ingress-Name
- X-Service-Name

This example shows how is possible to use a custom backend to render custom error pages. The code of this example is located here [nginx-debug-server](https://github.com/aledbf/contrib/tree/nginx-debug-server)

The idea is to use the headers `X-Code` and `X-Format` that NGINX pass to the backend in case of an error to find out the best existent representation of the response to be returned. i.e. if the request contains an `Accept` header of type `json` the error should be in that format and not in `html` (the default in NGINX).

By default the Ingress controller provides support for `html`, `json` and `XML`.
