Patrick Andrieu: Error-Page

Beitrag lesen

Hallo wahsaga!

IIRC sind es 512 bytes.

Stimmt, mittlerweile habe ich die Mail gefunden, die ich mir von der Arbeit aus an mich selbst geschickt hatte, aber wohl zu Hause dann doch gelöscht hatte. Ich hatte diesen Text im Quelltext einer blütenweißen 404-Seite gefunden:

<!--
   - Unfortunately, Microsoft has added a clever new
   - "feature" to Internet Explorer.  If the text in
   - an error's message is "too small", specifically
   - less than 512 bytes, Internet Explorer returns
   - its own error message.  Yes, you can turn that
   - off, but *surprise* it's pretty tricky to find
   - buried as a switch called "smart error
   - messages"  That means, of course, that many of
   - Resin's error messages are censored by default.
   - And, of course, you'll be shocked to learn that
   - IIS always returns error messages that are long
   - enough to make Internet Explorer happy.  The
   - workaround is pretty simple: pad the error
   - message with a big comment to push it over the
   - five hundred and twelve byte minimum.  Of course,
   - that's exactly what you're reading right now.
