Get Un-Friendly HTTP Error Messages?

[+Bob+]

MSIE8, Vista SP2



I'd like to see the NON-friendly HTTP error messages. However,

clicking off the "Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages" off has no

effect. I tried using the Reset feature, but it did not help.



Ideas?

Are you /sure/ you want to do this? I mean, they're not called

'friendly' HTTP error messages for nothing. Here's an example of a

non-friendly error message:



"How about typing the URL /correctly/ next time, you putz."



(Try re-starting the browser after you remove the check mark. In any

case, clear TIF before you go hunting for error messages.)

Yes, I'm sure I do web development - the actual error code is

much more useful to me. I'd even prefer the raw stream from the

browser, but I can't usually get that anymore.



I did a full reset on the browser, exited, restarted. No change.



Anyone happen to know what regkey is supposed to be affected by this

option change? I could check that to see if it's toggling.



Thanks,

Hi Bob,



Show Friendly Error Messages means use a standard error message from the

client if one is not available from the server.



Developers turn off custom errors on their server to view the full debug

stack.



Regards.

Understood - I don't want it friendlied up by the browser.



But, it seems to be working now... so let's kill this thread.



Thanks,
