Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-15923:
-------------------------------------

It should display something really simple.  If nothing else, just "The core 
XXXX is configured on this Solr instance."  If possible, it should display some 
status summary info.  Anything that is not expensive to gather would be nice. 
Starting point I can think of is saying whether or not the core was started 
successfully.  And maybe have some links like a link to the admin UI tab for 
that core/collection.  Later this evening I can look into what can be gathered,

> When accessing the base URL for a core, Solr returns a 404 error.  For 
> example, browsing to [http://localhost:8983/solr/dovecot] on my install 
> returns a short html page:
> h2. HTTP ERROR 404 Not Found
> ||URI:|/solr/dovecot|
> ||STATUS:|404|
> ||MESSAGE:|Not Found|
> ||SERVLET:|default|
> I believe that it is Jetty generating this page.
> I've heard from more than one user that when they see this, they think their 
> Solr install is broken.
> I believe that the base URL for a core should display something that lets a 
> user know that the core they tried to access is indeed functional, but that 
> they need more stuff on the URL for it to actually do anything.  I haven't 
> tried this with a collection on SolrCloud, but I assume that also returns a 
> 404.  One thing that some might think of for this that I think we should NOT 
> do is have that URL redirect to the admin UI page for the core.  If we do 
> that, some users might assume that they have to update the base URL in their 
> application to the admin UI URL that comes up, which will not work.
