Sure. I don't think we can handle every possible case with zero configuration. But the point is to try very hard to handle as much of it as possible. > Actually I think that displaying browser errors in a web page isn't such > a good idea, even if IE does it ;-). I'm not saying that because IE does it it's a good idea, but rather it is a good idea that IE happens to do. The error page is a lot less intrusive than a dialog (even if we fixed the bug where a "host not found" dialog blocks the entire browser mainloop, it's still nicer to have an error in the place of origin), and is able to provide a lot more information. > Any error detected in the browser > should be distinguishable as such, Why is that? > buttons to reach proxy configuration > are put there as easily as links on a web page. Sure, but see above.
