Customizable HTTP Error Messages

(Requires the HTTP/S) During your HTTP sessions, you will receive various numbered codes from Web servers. Some codes represent errors; most others simply communicate the status of the connection. For brief explanations for the most common status and error codes, refer to Knowledgebase article #10141 at https://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle10141.aspx.

EFT provides customizable HTTP error messages in HTML files in the \HTTPMessages folder (for example, C:\ProgramData\Globalscape\EFT Server\HTTPMessages).

Each time the EFT service starts up, each of the HTTPMessages files is created if they do not already exist. When an HTTP response is needed, EFT first tries to load the response from files in this location. Failing that, EFT uses its internal response strings.

HTTP responses that are stored through this mechanism that can be customized are limited to the following responses:

BAD_PARAMETER

HTTP/1.1 406 Bad Parameter; The requested URL was not found on this server.

BAD_REQUEST
