How to return 403 response code from snippet

I have a snippet that runs on a page to check user input from a form post and want to return a 403 if naughty input is detected.

I have tried $modx->sendUnauthorizedPage(); but that returns a 401 response code.

How can I return a 403 response code from a snippet?

I don't know of a MODX-specific way to do this. I would just use the PHP header() function:

modX.sendRedirect

It doesn't look like using the modX.sendRedirect works to send a 403. I tried



but it just returns 302.

Using



I am able to get a 403 header response but it returns the page that was originally requested.

Oops, sorry for the typo - obviously I meant "403 Forbidden."

I think the problem with using $modx->sendRedirect is that 403 isn't a redirect. It's a status code indicating that you don't have permission to access the resource.

I think you can stop it from sending the page content if you just die() after sending the 403, but I haven't tried it.
