let's add 404 etc pages to the standard dowmload

Hi developers,
what about adding these pages to our next version. It would mean adding some language strings.
Anyhow would be nice to have friendly 404, forbidden, etc pages

Maybe even derived from a template.

The core of CMSimple_XH currently only uses the 404 response status (besides, of course, 200)[1], and there is already a extremly flexible hook to catch this. Of course, we could add a language string that will be shown below the Heading "Error 404: Not found" (if no hook is defined).

I'm not sure which other error codes could deserve special pages/language strings. A few might be interesting for some plugins, but these plugins could handle it for themselves.

Catching errors outside of CMSimple_XH (i.e. thrown by the web server), is not generally possible. I'm not sure, if we should introduce a global .htaccess for that purpose.

Maybe even derived from a template.

404 error pages can already be designed as a CMSimple_XH page.

[1] function shead() in cmsimple/functions.php additionally handles 401 and 403, but those are not used anymore by the core, because that makes it slightly harder for bots trying to get admin access by brute force.
