use of L and R on rewrite

Im curious if this is a good idea or if there is a better way.

In one of my rewrites i use F to deny them access. My idea is to use the R instead and then make a special error file just for that.

What i mean is this.

On this rewrite instead of just showing them a special error page, i want to show them an image that says NOT AUTHORIZED.

So my idea is to use lets say R=301 for example. Then make a special error page for 301 that displays the image.

The problem with this is that all normal 301 will also see the image and i dont want that, i just want them to see the image if it is denied thru the rewrite.

So should i make a fake code like R=999 i dont know.. it would be great if i could do R=link to my image but i dont think thats possible


And i meant F not L in the title lol.

Actually i just had a thought here and it might not work what i said.

what i have is below, if i block them from images then they wont be able to see the not auth image either unless i put it above the public html right.


it would be nice if i could do R=link instead of just F here
