Future ideas:
- Rules integration
- Redirect on node view (see a Stack Overflow question asking if this is possible in Drupal)
http://drupal.org/project/node_expire adds a timer to a node, then after that timer ends, expires the node in some fashion (using http://drupal.org/project/rules). The idea is to create a module that sets the HTTP code to 410, or redirects to a 410 page (while sending the HTTP code), indicating to robots that the content is indeed gone.
Node Status
- should "gone" be a separate status using http://drupal.org/project/workflow ?
- does the 'expired' flag (which Node Expire sets) constitute "Gone"?
- does a published status override the "gone"/"expired" status?
Since Node Expire sets a flag on the node as 'expired', then all that needs to be done is, if the 'expired' flag is set:
- serve the HTTP code
- serve the "Gone" page
- there is no step 3
