You are right. Thanks and humble apologies: it looks like I was constructing my own obfuscator ...

Re: Friendly error messages from Microsoft get in the way (was Er ror pages defined in web.xml not found / activated)
Are you sure? I set my browser to show friendly http error messages and went to a page which does not exist. And I get the errorpage as defined in my web.xml Visit this page to test : http://www.batborsen.com/bb/se/this_page_does_not_exist.html the errorpage tag in web.xml looks like this 404 se/batborsen_error.html 500 se/batborsen_error.html take an extra look at the location tag...

At least for development I can switch them off. Users (and helpdesk) will have to live with it. I never knew people could think of developing error message obfuscators :-( On Monday, April 02, 2001 7:14 PM, Juan Lorandi (Chile) [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: > the error code is sent on the very first line of the response header-- and > orion doesn't allow you to control that > > > -Original Message- > > From: Frank Eggink [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 3:56 AM > > To: Orion-Interest > > Subject: Friendly error messages from Microsoft get in the way (was > > Error pages defined in web.xml not found / activated) > > > > > > Well ... > > > > How can you spend your weekend?!? > > > > > > The problem I described looks to be caused by wat's called > > 'friendly error > > messages' from the Internet Explorer.
