500 Errors - What is returned?

[txbakers]

When a 500 error is thrown, and "Friendly" HTTP error messages are turned off, showing the real error, what is returned, and how do I capture that?

I made a custom 500 error screen, and would like to display that "non-friendly" error on that screen.

Does anyone know the server variables for that so I can display?

THANKS!

Quick Question are you using a static 500 Error Page, or a dynamic one done in Asp.Net, Asp Classic?

If you are doing it in Asp.net these might be of some help to you.
