Shall the dump help the regular surfer? I doubt so.
Shall it benefit the developer or the tester? Most probably not since they are not performing their activities on the production site.
Oh, they most definitely help the developer or tester, because errors do appear on production sites too, and it can be very hard to recreate the problem.
The only one problem there is that if a surfer sees the dump most probably he will not send it to the developer....
BUT: The developer has access to the system, and the dump doesn't have to
be
included in the HTML output. Maybe error dumps could be sent to a disk-log of some sort?
Exactly that's my point. Log it with as many details as you can! Log it on the local file system or use syslog or a database but do not send it to the users browser. Do not put it in the response if the server is running without -D option. Regards, Rossen _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
