hmmm, I think the quoted paragraph only affects a decision between
<?xml encoding="..." ?> and <meta http-equiv="..." content=".." />.

Additionally - IIRC - there's nowhere any iso-8859-1 character,
therefore the character encoding declaration is more or less useless ;-)
(Character Entities are written in us-ascii...)

IMHO: -1
(not a binding vote, I know ;-)

My understanding was that the REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES replaced the need for
this.

So they do.

Shouldn't that be "Either the server is overloaded, or there was ..." ?

I agree.  I fixed that and also made the improvement suggested by Rich.

Missing sentence in HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR.html.var

Posted by Erik Abele <we...@codefaktor.de>.
It seems that HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR.html.var is missing a sentence in
the english part.

In the first if-clause only the error message is echoed out; shouldn't we
provide an introducing sentence like "The server encountered an internal
error and was unable to complete your request." above the error message?

All the other translations have such a phrase.

see below for an example:

...

Content-language: en
Content-type: text/html
Body:----------en--
<!--#set var="TITLE" value="Server error!" -->
<!--#include virtual="include/top.html" -->

  <!--#if expr="$REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES" -->

    -> (Missing: The server encountered an internal error and was
    unable to complete your request.) <-

    <!--#include virtual="include/spacer.html" -->

    Error message:
    <br /><!--#echo var="REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES" -->

  <!--#else -->

    The server encountered an internal error and was
    unable to complete your request. The server is either
    overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

  <!--#endif -->

<!--#include virtual="include/bottom.html" -->
----------en--

...

Any opinions on this?!?
