Hi All,

in the line class HTTP (http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#uyCl3L51_dI/gluon/http.py&q=http%20package:http://web2py%5C.googlecode%5C.com&l=85) there is a code that adds xxxxxxx to the error page.

I'm using some JS library that would pop up the error page message in case of an Ajax call returns an error page ... therefore it displays the message that I rise in the controller plus those xxxx

Is it possible to disable those xxxxxx ?

thanks

those xxxxx are very important! IE does not display the content of
error pages unless the content is more than 512 bytes. Without the
xxxxx (or some other junk) IE would override the web2py error
messages.

I see, an IE workaround...

do you think that it would make sense to allow the developer to disable this IE workaround ? for example setting some config var ?

You can.

1) copy routes.examples.py into routes.py

2) uncomment:

error_message_ticket = '<html><body><h1>Internal error</h1>Ticket
issued: <a href="\
/admin/default/ticket/%(ticket)s" target="_blank">%(ticket)s</a></
body></html>'

you can edit the above message and make it whatever you like. You can
also make the error customized per-app.

if you are raising exceptions directly in the controller, you can
avoid the "extra" Xs doing something like

raise HTTP(404, ['message'])

(i.e. if an error message is of type "list" the Xs are not added)

Thanks for the info. I remembered once I had same question but did not
find the answer.

But hey, why not just put all these "important" notes directly into
our code instead of those meaningless "xxxxx"? That way we combine
code and its document together. Perfect!
