+* `config.action_dispatch.rescue_responses` configures what exceptions are assigned to an HTTP status. It accepts a hash and you can specify pairs of exception/status. By default, this is defined as:
+
+  ```ruby
+  config.action_dispatch.rescue_responses = {
+     'ActionController::RoutingError'             => :not_found,
+     'AbstractController::ActionNotFound'         => :not_found,
+     'ActionController::MethodNotAllowed'         => :method_not_allowed,
+     'ActionController::UnknownHttpMethod'        => :method_not_allowed,
+     'ActionController::NotImplemented'           => :not_implemented,
+     'ActionController::UnknownFormat'            => :not_acceptable,
