| Filed under Browser, Development, Environment, Others, Performance Engineering, Testing. Today I came across one interesting case where in spite of doing a proper set up for custom error page in Tomcat, Internet Explorer 9.0.6 was just refusing to display my custom page.The same custom error page was displaying fine in other browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox without any issue.But in Internet Explorer it was showing up its own error page which was looking like below, Now of course it does say that its 404 error,but I believe this page is somewhat not good for user experience.Users expect that we display some informative message in case if some thing goes wrong while browsing the site and that message should give them some information about error and what they need to do next and what we are doing to resolve the issue,something like below, I was trying to do exactly the same , set up the custom error page, trigger that page by generating some error condition and check if this works in all browsers as expected. Unfortunately Internet Explorer seems to have some problems displaying custom error pages in case if they are light weight in size.In addition to weight of the page, they also has certain rules which they follow while implementing custom error page, Below is the information I copied from Eric Lawrence blog, 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. In addition to Eric’s blog, here is another KB article from Microsoft which confirms this
