Greater than 512 bytes will override IE 6, 7, 8 and Chrome's helpful
error messages. In fact, for certain error response codes, only
greater than 256 bytes is required for IE to display the server
supplied message. Depending on IE version, these values are in the
registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\ErrorThresholds.

It's important to note that certain versions of IE use the value of
the Content-Length header, rather than the actual size of the message
body. This can cause a difference if the content is gzip'ed, so you
must ensure that the gzip'ed content is still large enough.
