@TODO

I'm trying to communicate with a third-party web API. Using their samples, the API calls only give me this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML><html><head><title>Error Loading Application</title><meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /></head><body><!-- @todo replace this with a real error page with a reasonable and/or helpful message --></body></html>
-
That's a more helpful error message than I'm used to dealing with.
-
My guess is the clue is in the title: the application hasn't loaded. Perhaps they start an application per user or per port or whatever, and the samples of course refer to a non-existing resource. But, a better error message would inspire more confidence.

Having to currently deal with a 3rd-party API, I can say this: fire them. Immediately.

I like that they allow the possibility of adding a reasonable message that isn't helpful at all. (Our intern Ted who manages this is on vacation this week.) Or! A helpful message that isn't reasonable. (Unplug your computer and go to Cancun to unwind!)
