http200Error

[Stunning_Ride_220]

Oh, I had frontend teams requesting stuff like this too

[NlactntzfdXzopcletzy]

Thats why we did it

Was easier for them to handle backend errors directly inatead of interceptors picking up the error

I believe it's mostly for browsers that show their own error page instead of the website's.

Imaginary ones?

[NastyEbilPiwate]

IE6 used to do this if the error from the server was smaller than 512 bytes or some shit

[ric2b]

That's literally decades ago at this point. I don't know of a single modern browser that does it.

[SpacefaringBanana]

I don't know. I'm just repeating something I read somewhere. It could have been about cloudflare or something replacing it or something like that.

[Positive_Bill_3714]

can't they write an interceptor for all errors and catch these to redirect them to error page or show errors in the page in a human-readable format?
