FireFox - not mentioning a 404 status ?
Hello all,
I've got FF 16 installed, and noticed that it ignores the HTTP status (404 and so on) in the received data -- it just displays whatever HTTP body is send, making me none-the-wiser to any problems the server might have (which currently is of some importance to me). I've been looking for a setting to disable this behaviour (and be shown any status other than 200), but have not been able to find anything (in the browser itself or on Google). Does anyone have an(y) idea ? Regards, Rudy Wieser |

IIRC, web servers can be configured/programmed to transparently redirect network requests when they point to a non existing resource. i.e. without spewing out any HTTP redirection response (statuc code 3xx). What URL is that anyway? |

FireFox - not mentioning a 404 status ?
Hello JJ,
IIRC, web servers can be configured/programmed to transparently redirect [snip] The webserver isn't the problem. Its FireFox which is, as it does not tell me it got another response than the "all OK" (200) one. What URL is that anyway? Currently its 127.0.0.1 (yes, its connected to my previous "don't search from the addres bar" question, and I'm generating the status codes myself) :-) Regards, Rudy Wieser P.s. Drats! I thought I could maybe write a small GreaseMonkey script to read the HTTP status and inject an element at the top of the page, but that (reading the status) does not seem to be possible. :-( -- Origional message: "JJ" wrote in message ...

Since you're using such an old version, you deserve whatever you get. Recent versions since a long time ago exhibit no such behavior. |

John,
Wow, I thought, someone using an older version than I (26) and willing to admit it! Than you will be probably be shocked to hear that I only started to use it last year or so. Before that it was FF 2 or something like that. Also, my other webbrowser was, until a month a go, IE 5 on Win98se (RIP). I do not believe in change for changes sake. As long as it works (and it has/does) its good enough for me. :-) And for the record, I took that version of FF from my now decomissioned W98se machine (where its the last one that will work on it), and installed it on a(n maybe as ancient) "new" machine I installed XP on. The thought of downloading-and-installing a newer version did not even cross my mind ... But I'm guessing it was a mistype for 56 ... Nope, I typed and you read that right. :-) Regards, Rudy Wieser -- Origional message: "J. P. Gilliver (John)" wrote in message ...

Hello Paul,
There's a plugin to show HTTP status like that, Yeah, during my bout of googeling I saw it mentioned too. but the output doesn't appear in a useful place. :-) As I read that it was some kind of developpers tool (meaning that I would need to have some kind of "window" open all the time) I memory-filed it and continued looking for a simpler/more usable solution. I think the lack of this function, is "design intent". Possible, but I also stumbled over some -- rather official looking -- forum posts which indicated it was actually a bug, which was reported and handled as such. I also found a reference to "webRequest.onHeadersReceived", which would allow a plugin to access the HTTP status. Maybe I will even try to build a *very* simple plugin with it myself. After all, all it needs to do is to inject a single element at the top of a HTML page. How hard can that be ? (famous last words :-) ) Regards, Rudy Wieser -- Origional message: "Paul" wrote in message news J. P.

Ackk ... As I'm not actually limited to FF16 (thanks J.P. for making me
become aware of that) I can ofcourse see if a bit later version has the bug fixed. I think that would be the easiest solution. :-D Than again ... The last time I tried to find a list of fixes and features of the different FF versions I got nowhere. :-( In other words, it will probably be difficult (for me) to determine which next version has the bug fixed (and has not introduced "features" that I do not want -- the (IIR the name C) "lense" ad-supporting crap debacle anyone -- at the same time).

FireFox - not mentioning a 404 status ?
John,
my other webbrowser was, until a month a go, IE 5 on Win98se (RIP). Not RIP; I ment to say there that *my* W98se machine -- which up until last month was my main one, used every day -- is effectivily RIP. Somehow it started to randomly freeze hard (which turned out to be most likely a motherboard-related problem). And as its has become harder and harder to keep it afloat (can't even buy me a simple PS/2 mouse or keyboard anymore, and older SSL encryptions being dumped does not make it any easier to stay online) I decided that it was time to (effectivily) lay it at rest. So, here I am: on my "new" XP machine. :-) Regards, Rudy Wieser -- Origional message: "J. P. Gilliver (John)" wrote in message ...
