'14 Friendly HTTP Error Pages ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ EricLaw [ex-MSFT]August 18, 20100 Share 0 0 Internet Explorer 5 and later will show a “Friendly” HTTP show friendly http error messages chrome Error page if the server returns certain HTTP Error status codes with

a short message body. The intent is to replace a terse server message like this one: …with a page 500 - internal server error. which may be slightly more helpful to the average user, like this one: Unfortunately, IE's logic isn't smart enough to detect that, say, the response was a tiny HTML page with a META Refresh pointed at a different page, meaning that the META Refresh won't work until you pad the HTML response with enough text to be deemed "non-terse." A common question from web developers is: What makes IE decide to show a friendly error page? The answer is that the server’s response must meet two criteria: The HTTP Status code must be [400, 403, 404, 405, 406, 408, 409, 410, 500, 501, 505] The HTTP Response body’s byte length must be shorter than a threshold value If the server’s response meets both criteria, then IE will show its own Friendly HTTP Error page instead of the server’s terse response. The byte length thresholds are stored in the registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE under the subkey \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\ErrorThresholds. The default threshold is 256 bytes for the response codes [403, 405, 410] and 512 bytes for response codes [400, 404, 406, 408, 409, 500, 501, 505]. If the registry entry is missing for one of the status codes, its threshold defaults to 512 bytes. I wrote a simple script which allows you to test IE’s Friendly HTTP Error pages using Meddler. The next most common question is: How do I prevent IE from showing the friendly error page? If a user wants to prevent display of all Friendly HTTP Error pages, they can untick an option in the Internet Control Panel's Advanced tab, then restart IE. Of course, only the Friendly HTTP Error pages can be disabled in this way; other Friendly Er

Don't do that! –deceze Nov 19 '12 at 14:27 its an user-centric feature –Daniel A. White Nov 19 '12 at 14:27 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 6 down vote IE Implemented this feature because most users don't know what 404 means and it just confuses them further. Unfortunately for developers that means that useful information or a nicer implementation gets shielded from the user. Jeff Atwood has a decent writeup about 404 pages. One of his suggestions is : You have to make your customized 404 page larger than 512 bytes, otherwise IE will assume it's a standard web server 404 message and replace it with its own friendly-ized version. So try making your 404 page more than 512 bytes and see if it is then shown to the user. share|improve this answer answered Nov 19 '
