BoxLang's rewriting feature facilitates handling 404 errors by allowing developers to specify files or scripts to run. The proposal includes a non-code based rewrites system, enabling users to define paths and rewrites using a simple text-based format, making it user-friendly. The example provided illustrates how to set up rewrite rules in a tab-delimited input file, with supporting comments. An engine script is created to parse these rewrite rules effectively, accommodating error-checking in its implementation.
