*Bugs:
**[http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479922 Bug 479922] - Network error pages should give me tools instead of asking me questions
*Mozilla-Central:
**[[http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/docshell/base/nsDocShell.cpp#3031 nsDocShell::DisplayLoadError] -- dispatches various error pages
**[http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/docshell/resources/content/netError.xhtml netError.xhtml]
**[http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/certerror/aboutCertError.js aboutCertError.js]
*About pages:
**''about:neterror''
**''about:config'' -- urlclassifier.alternate_error_page default string = "blocked" -- for example -- tells nsDocShell::DisplayLoadError to use the "blocked" page instead of the default generic page.
*Triggers:
**[https://johnath.com/ https://johnath.com/] - triggers a "Secure Connection Failed" error page.
**[http://example.example.com/ http://example.example.com/] - triggers an "Address Not Found" error page.
**[http://example.cmm triggers dnsNotFound error page]
**[http://127.0.0.1:81 triggers connectionFailure error page]
* [[Firefox3.1/Sprints/Network Error Pages/Error types|List of possible error to address]] (old)
* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:1.5_Network_Error_Messages Summary of error types (FF 1.5)]
* Johnathan Zittrain - [http://www.herdict.org/web/ HerdictWeb] talk in building K - had ideas about integrating it into Firefox's error pages. Instead of Firefox just telling you the site is unreachable, maybe it could tell you whether it has been gone for minutes or months, and whether it is broken for everyone or only for certain ISPs or countries.
