In chrome you can easily disable showing friendly error message. Here is
the document, describing how to do it.

Does chromium have a different settings or this issue should be closed?

ivanbessarabov: Chromium has the same settings. Unless someone wants to
work on making that checkbox more discoverable, I think this issue should
be closed.

Comment #20 on issue 1695 by nathanbrauer: Chrome needs option to turn

Another problem with this is that AJAX requests to API's which use header
response codes as a form of communication do not function correctly as
Chrome doesn't give the resulting document to the script.

Ex:
POST http://some.api/users/get
params: username=yourmom&attributes=all

Expected Result:
{"code":404,"message":"yourmom is not a user","result":false,"count":0}

Actual Result:
Google "friendly" page (or nothing at all).

Comment #23 on issue 1695 by tuxgirl: Chrome needs option to turn

the "turn off suggestions" trick does work.

However, I discovered this after spending around 4 hours today mucking
around in apache configs, thinking that somehow apache must be having
errors, when in actuality, it was simply that a config-file for the web app
was misnamed. Finally found that out when I tried firefox and it gave me
the actual error.

curses...

The "turn off suggestions" trick does NOT work on Linux 9.0.597 or OSX
9.0.597.

Don't have a Windows box to test on but this bug is definitely still
unresolved.

Also confirmed that this feature is broken on Windows 7 Chrome 8.

Comment #30 on issue 1695 by sebmayn...@gmail.com: Chrome needs option to

In Chrome 10 Linux (the version I'm running) there's an option under "Under
the bonnet" which is called "Use a web service to help resolve navigation
errors" - disabling this causes the web server's own 404/500/etc pages to
be displayed instead of Chrome's - perhaps a nicer explanation of what this
actually does (i.e. next to the option say something like "this will hide
the rather un-standard Chrome error pages")

That option should not exist, neither should the functionality behind it.

mwisnicki is correct. Completely ignoring responses from the server isn't
part of the HTTP protocol.

Reply to sebmayn...@gmail.com
For Windows 7 Chrome 10.0.648.151 disabling "Use a web service to help
resolve navigation errors" has exposed server side error messages as well.
Oh happy day for a viable work around!

Comment #34 on issue 1695 by holizz: Chrome needs option to turn

I have "Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors" disabled, and
I'm still seeing small error pages being turned into these "helpful" pages.

This is most certainly a step backwards. I was hoping Google dropping
support for oldIE would get rid of the need to support idiosyncratic
behaviours.

This is still a problem under linux with Chrome 13.0.782.112.

Please fix it, it's REALLY annoying.

This needs to be reopened! I don't want to see annoying google error pages,
show me what the server says.

This really needs to be "fixed". I don't want friendly errors and chrome's
are so so friendly that are just plain bullshit ... I had to use Firefox to
get real SSL error information.

So... add option to disable "Friendly Errors" ... FFS

Count me in. At least check if response is empty and then show
your "friendly" error page.

I wonder if you block the Bad request Invalid hostname page if that would
work or would it happen again? I'm tired of my new tab function always
showing the bad request page. It nullifies the function of blocking unwated
websites.

Comment #46 on issue 1695 by schmu...@gmail.com: Chrome needs option to
always nice to see stupid features added and then any discussion on the
subject swept under the carpet, I have not tested this recently but the
original idea was bad and keeping it is worse, now what can we say about
keeping radio silence on it...

That's not the first dubious thing I see implemented in chromium that way
and I am starting to loose hope, I already nearly switched back to firefox,
the lack of any UI configuration option in chrome being one of the main
annoyance (prevented to remove some of the stupid decision choice made).

I don't want to use a web service, I don't want "cute" error pages. I want
