<error-page> and Internet Explorer

[paszti]

Hi All,


I've got problems using the custom error-page feature with the Internet Explorer 6.0.


My WEB.XML cotains the following lines:

<error-page>
 <error-code>404</error-code>
 <location>/p404.jsp</location>
 </error-page>

The custom error page doesn't appear when the "Show Friendly HTTP error messages" setting is checked.
This is very unpleasant because this setting is checked by default after the setup.

Is there a way to make the Explorer show the error page regardless of this browser setting.

Thanks in advance

I think I've read that if you make your error page longer than a certain number of bytes it will appear instead of IE's "friendly error message".

So you could try adding a quantity of whitespace to your error page and see if that works.

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much for your reply.

It works now. My error page contained only the three digit HTTP status code before.
