Use:

  raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.HTTP_NO_CONTENT

I am not sure though whether that will still trigger Apache to send a
default error page. You may have to use:

  req.status = apache.HTTP_NO_CONTENT
  raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.DONE

to be absolutely sure that Apache doesn't further process it.
