With arbitrary messages, the client has no way of programatically deciphering which message is which, so localization becomes impossible. HTTP solved this by having a response code _and_ still allowing content for custom pages. That kind of works, though most of the time I find things like custom 404 pages to just be junk. Let's start with my original patch (which I'll clean and repost). And if somebody really wants to push towards customized messages, that is easy enough to do on top later. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
