IE7's own annoying 404, 500 error pages

[chuckee]

Hi,
I have just upgraded to Internet Explorer 7 and am rather annoyed that it chooses to display its own interpretation of any HTTP error codes that are sent from websites, rather than display what the actual server sends.

For example, with a 500 Internal Server error, it displays a "friendly" interpretation of this, which it generates itself.
I want to see what the server actually is sending rather than this page which is just generated by IE7 itself.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Un-check Internet Options->Advanced->Show friendly HTTP error messages.

With this setting checked, IE will show the server error pages only *IF* they exceed a minimize size (256 or 512 bytes, as determined my MS). See notes on Apache ErrorDocument directive [httpd.apache.org]. See also info from MS Knowledge Base at [support.microsoft.com...]
