All to often in Internet Explorer if the application crashes all you see is a page saying - 'The page cannot be displayed.' then further down the screen you have the generic error 'HTTP 500 - Internal server error'. Well you'll be glad to know there is something you can do to help debug the application and find out what exactly is coursing the application not to run correctly. To do this you need to turn of Internet Explorers, Friendly HTTP Error Messages function, by following the steps below. There instructions work in IE5, IE6, IE7 and IE8. First you need to select 'Tools' from the menu at the top of Internet Explorer. Then from the drop down menu choose 'Internet Options'. Once the 'Internet Options' Dialog box opens you want to choose the 'Advanced' tab. You will then see a list of Advanced functions of Internet Explorer that can be turned on or

Windows 7 IT Pro > Windows 7 Networking Question 1 Sign in to vote Hello, We are currently testing TMG as a Proxy with the SSL Inspection and have the problem to see the correct error message in Internet Explorer 8. When a user goes to a site which https://www.webwiz.co.uk/kb/asp-tutorials/friendly-HTTP-error-messages.htm is forbidden the TMG generates a “HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden” message. Internet Explorer shows the inline error message from TMG. => That’s fine and works. But when a user surfs to a site with a not valid certificate e.g. “certificate server mismatch”, TMG returns a “HTTP/1.1 502 Proxy Error” message to the browser, like the “HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden” https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/85cf8d68-0448-43ef-9bf8-9e58f94e9b8b/internet-explorer-8-how-to-disable-default-error-page-for-5xx-server-errors?forum=w7itpronetworking message. The Problem is that the detailed in-line error message (e.g. The certification authority that issued the SSL server certificate....) from TMG isn’t shown to the userin Internet Explorer 8. It looks like Internet Explorer hijacks the error message of 5xx server errors and shows it’s own one “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage; what you can try: "Diagnose Connection Problems"". If you capture the response, the Line-based-text data shows the detailed error message but it isn’t displayed by IE8. What we tried: Disabled “show friendly error messages”. Internet Explorer 7 works, 5xx error messages are displayed in detail. Firefox (3.6.3) has the same Problem as IE8, only the default Firefox error message is shown. Does anyone know how disable the default error page from IE8, so that the detailed information from the server is also shown?

When I try to access a resource (web page, specifically) through IE7 on Windows XP, the browser shows me a "friendly" version of the error message, i.e.: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage Most likely causes: You are not connected to the Internet. The website is encountering problems. There might be a typing error in the address. What I want is for it to give me the actual HTTP show friendly http error code from the server. Following the advice in this Knowledge Base article (although I did notice it was targeted at IE 5.x and 6.x) I tried disabling the "Show friendly HTTP error messages" checkbox under Tools -> Intenet Options -> Browsing, but found it was already unchecked. Not sure what else I can try. windows-xp internet-explorer http-status-codes share|improve this question edited Jun 24 '13 at 17:40 Canadian Luke 15.6k2375124 asked Jun 24 '13 at 17:07 Asad Saeeduddin 1259 This may be relevant: stackoverflow.com/questions/11544048/…. Is there no chance they will let you install Firefox? –James P Jun 24 '13 at 17:59 @James Unfortunately that isn't possible, since I'm testing port connectivity (the port-listener can't send custom error messages if there is no port-listener) and can't make changes to IIS installation due to access restrictions. I might try installing FF, I'll see if I can get the permissions for that. –Asad Saeeduddin Jun 24 '13 at 18:13 1 The article I linked to basically says that the error page must be 512 bytes or bigger or IE won't show it. Are you not able to change the error page/template? –James P Jun 25 '13 at 8:22 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote Assuming the page is hosted by an IIS server, the only options you have to see the error are to either A) log in to the web host and view the error on that machine, or B) get the network
