Of course, this lack of detail makes troubleshooting difficult. Telling users to disable Show friendly HTTP error messages in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) works, but doing so is difficult to manage on a client-by-client basis. What can http://windowsitpro.com/networking/informant-disabling-friendly-http-error-messages I do on the server side to change this IE setting? When the friendly messages feature in IE 5.x or later is enabled, IIS delivers error messages, but IE shows friendly error messages rather than those messages the Web server delivers. When you disable the feature in IE, you're in effect telling IE to show what the server is delivering. (You disable the feature in IE by selecting Tools, Internet Options; clicking the View tab; then clearing the Show friendly HTTP error messages option.) You could deliver to the client a script, object, or executable that changes the appropriate registry setting. However, because doing so involves a high degree of trust by the client to let you make the changes, this process is almost as problematic as walking users through making the change manually. The trick is to get IE to show the error messages without having to modify the client. IE's friendly error messages don't kick in if the number of bytes from the server's error message exceeds a certain threshold (by default, 512 bytes). Thus, if you create a custom message that exceeds 512 bytes, IE will show the custom message, complete with all the er
should have this turned off by default. How else will you know what the problem is? So here's how to do it: Open up a new http://www.thinklemon.com/weblog/2005/06/22/turning-off-the-friendly-http-error-messages-in-firefox/ tab (CTRL+T) or window (CTRL+N). Type in de addressbar: about:config. In the filterbar type: error and press enter. Now set the value of the ‘browser.xul.error_pages.enabled‘ to ‘true‘. Double clicking will do. Restart Firefox. Now you'll get extended warnings instead of the simple warning dialogs when, for example, you accidentaly link to a non-existant domain. Or, like me, the dreaded ‘The error messages document contains no data'. If you don't know where to find this in IE: ‘Tools' > ‘Internet Options…' > ‘Advanced'-tab > Near the end of the ‘Browsing'-section. > Uncheck.

However, I still get the friendly error messages. On another note, if I enter a URL (i.e spike), (which runs off to my localhost spike proxy), and the proxy is down, instaed it looks up on Google and sends the request to spiketv.com (or net), which is rather sad. Anyone know how to solve this one as well? Cheers,s Caspar says: August 24, 2006 at 11:26 pm This setting was only valid in the Fx1.0 days. When all you got was an alert box stating Firefox couldn't do something, instead of telling exactly what went wrong. Since 1.5 it's the other way around. Now you'll get an error page instead of a dialog box. (Setting it to false still reverts back to the dialog.) If Firefox cannot resolve
