Daniel Beck commented on Bug JENKINS-27917

Please use this bug to fix the error message to display something meaningful to the user.

Any improvements to the error message can be done while this issue is resolved/closed. The original issue turned out to not be a bug after all, therefore I closed it. In my experience many reporters don't follow up on discussions in comments, so I prefer to resolve an issue I plan to follow up on to leaving one open indefinitely.

Otherwise the next person who encounters this issue will be re-opening a new bug.

No, they'll fix their proxy setup and move on.

Error messages are meaningless unless they can indicate the cause of the issue. The (misspelled) error message "Unquotted string 'Arial'" does not in any way imply that the proxy configuration is missing.

Actually, it does. It means instead of update center metadata, Jenkins received something in a different text-based format that includes style data – like a web page.


I'd still appreciate a response to my earlier comment on what specifically should be improved here, and what your network setup looks like.
