I feel his pain. We're still on IE6. : ( But yes, like Andre says, go to Tools | Options or Internet Options | Advanced and uncheck the ""Show friendly HTTP error messages" box.

You can turn it off, somewhere in the preferences. Better : there exists an IE add-on, called Fiddler2, which does about the same as similar add-ons for Firefox like HttpFox e.g. It allows you to /really/ see what the browser is sending, and what it receives from the server. Better yet : use Firefox with the HttpFox add-on. And the ultimate, but not for the faint-hearted : you can use a program like Wireshark to grab and memorise and see absolutely every TCP/IP packet circulating on the wire, even the ones you never wanted to know about. All of that does not solve your problem, but at least it should give you an idea of what is really going on. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
