      +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1366449 +++
      Description of problem:

      In case ErrorDocument is configured but the value of "document" is invalid,
      the response is like below:

      <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>405 Method Not Allowed</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Method Not Allowed</h1>
<p>The requested method GET is not allowed for the URL /.</p>
<p>Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.</p>
</body></html>

      The messages in the page "requested method GET" is not expected and should be "TRACE
      since TRACE method is sent.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      Apache HTTP Server 2.4.23

      How reproducible:
      send TRACE method with invalid ErrorDocument setting.

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1.configure "TraceEnable off"
      2.configure ErrorDocument with non-existed error page
      3.send TRACE method

      Actual results:

      <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>405 Method Not Allowed</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Method Not Allowed</h1>
<p>The requested method GET is not allowed for the URL /.</p>
<p>Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.</p>
</body></html>

      Expected results:

      <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>405 Method Not Allowed</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Method Not Allowed</h1>
<p>The requested method TRACE is not allowed for the URL /.</p>
<p>Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.</p>
</body></html>
