render_optional_error_file(status_code)

protected

Attempts to render a static error page based on the status_code thrown, or just return headers if no such file exists. For example, if a 500 error is being handled Rails will first attempt to render the file at public/500.html. If the file doesn’t exist, the body of the response will be left empty.
