If the server did not send any content then we do not ignore the error and we may provide a special page with some information to the user instead of a blank screen. Most of the browsers do it. When the error is not ignored ResourceHandleClient::didFail() is called. Isn't ResourceHandleClient responsible for handling the error?

Good point! > The idea here is to show to the user the content sent by the server, if some content was sent by the server. > If the server did not send any content then we do not ignore the error and we may provide a special page with some information to the user instead of a blank screen. Most of the browsers do it. How is the client receiving notice of the error? Won't he get it anyway from the unsupportedContent() signal ? From what I can tell in other ports, didFail() is only used when there has been a transport error of some sort.

From what I can tell in other ports, didFail() is only used when there has been a transport error of some sort. Look at FrameLoaderClientQt::callErrorPageExtension. By default QtTestBrowser will show a page containing the http error string and title 'Failed loading page' when it receives a message that has no content. No, unsupportedContent will probably not help.
