iis 6 custom error not working in ie - iis-6

I've set up the custom errors in webconfig and it's working great for .aspx pages. But, I'm trying to handle the .htm or .html or .pdf errors (mainly not found). Understand from research that handling in extensions to the .dll is not good for performance (this true even if you don't have hardly any .htm pages?) So, I went into IIS and set the custom error page to a page I created and will have it redirect. But, it works great in FireFox, but IE gives me a standard white page 404 error. I've deleted all the browser history settings and still the same. Help would be greatly appreciated. (I'm assuming once I publish, I'll have to edit the custom errors in the "published" website also?)

IE won't show a custom error page unless it's at least 512 bytes.

Page resources could not be loaded by Googlebot

When I check my website URL on Google URL inspection tool it shows that page resources could not be loaded i.e image, stylesheet and script files. However, my website is working perfectly on a live server and the website is not rendered properly by Googlebot smartphone. I have tried everything to remove these errors but nothing helped. I have also checked that these resources are not blocked in robots.txt file.
Screenshot of page resources error
I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now, and finally reached the only solution that has worked for me. In my case, it wasn't a robots.txt problem, as I believe that you've already checked before posting this.
The problem has to do with the number of resources Googlebot is willing to fetch before giving up. If your CSS and JS files are too many, or too big, Googlebot gives up before fetching all of the resources needed to render the page properly.
You can solve it by minifying your files via a server mod, or via plugins like WP Rocket or Autoptimize. If you have too many CSS and JS files and the problem persists after minifying, try combining these files as well by using the same plugins.

Why can I view .less file through ftp, but not http?

I'm wokring on a small website that I wouldlike to use Less CSS with, but I am having trouble getting the .less file to become available. If I go to the path on the server that the .less file is at through ftp, the file is there in the browser and I can read it. However, tag in the html is bringing me to a 404 page. If I manually type in the location through http it does not work. Why might this be happening?
Requests for static files return 404 error (IIS 6.0)
Im not sure if i understood you correct, but: LESS is not a replacement for CSS. You must generate a CSS-file from your LESS-file to be able to serve it to the browser.
The reason why you cant view it in your browser is because the web server har no MIME-type for LESS-files, and it shouldnt have.
You can however view it through FTP cause its a "normal" text document.
Edit: You can also process the .less-file with javascript, but thats not recommended for production use...

reloading webpage on safari downloads the page

I have a dynamic site I have made on PHP/MySQL and recently I have experienced a weird issue - sometimes (about once in four times) when I reload the active page the safari web browser (on a mac) automatically downloads the xxxx.php page rather than reloading it! I am trying to figure out what could be causing this, but i have no idea. Any suggestions?
The Content-Disposition HTTP Header is the only thing I can figure. Is there any way you can post something that we can test?
could it be with the .htaccess? I had a similar problem last month and I had to change some entries in my .htaccess, the shared server may have changed Apache's settings and it sopped working properly.

ASP.net Ajax Partial Rendering using UpdatePanel not working in WebKit browsers

I am part of the developer team for a quite a large online system using ASP.NET(4).
Asp.net Ajax completely breaks down for Webkit browsers and we are getting full page postbacks when we should be getting partial only for the UpdatePanels.
I am starting to believe it has something to do with my Application Configuration, mainly for the following reasons.
If I move the ajax enabled controls to a new project they will work as expected for all browsers, including Webkit.
I created a static .aspx file with nothing but an UpdatePanel,ScriptManager and a button making a literal visible on click.
I get no Javascript errors from any browser, and i see an http request for the asp.net-ajax (ScriptResource.axd) in both Firebug and Chrome Developer tools
I tried ye'old safari fix from this highly referenced thread
Edit: After a bit more testing and http sniffing i noticed a major difference between the test application and the actual application. The test application generates 2 additional .axd files which are not generated from the actual application. These WebResource.axd, seem to contain data related to the async postback. However this is only the case for Webkit browsers. The WebResource.axd files are generated for Firefox as i can see them in firebug
What i am asking from the community, is any ideas or suggestions as to what could be the cause of this problem and if i am correct to assume that the problem is probably on the server side
Thanks for any help
The problem was due to a deprecated config file that's used to limit the content that bots/spiders/crawlers receive, which was loading by mistake thanks to our lovely inhouse CMS
In short if u get behavior similar to my case, check your or configs
I was having a similar issue however my problem was with all browsers and not just webkit. I ended up going through and tearing up the web.config file and found out that a line: <xhtmlConformance mode="Legacy"> was preventing webresource.axd from working properly. The fix was to simply remove that line from my web.config file.
For a little more information on xhtmlConformance, visit http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/librarY/ms228268(v=vs.85).aspx.
If you scroll all the way to the bottom you'll notice it explicitly states that it causes issues with webresource.axd and scriptresource.axd.

Google Chrome err_failed chrome (err2) - Web App

I'm a web application developer, who runs a site http://myfav.es. We've been struggling with this issue for about a month now.
We use the HTML application cache spec - www.w3.org/TR/offline-webapps/ - with dynamically generated manifest files - myfav.es/personal.manifest - to speed page delivery. These dynamically generated manifest files use proper headers, and PHP to serve up custom manifests for users.
We also use gzip compression to serve the site from a linux/apache host.
For the life-cycle of our site, users report getting a err_failed similar to this screenshot in chrome. twitpic.com/272237.
This error is intermittent, occuring once every 200-300 visits, but will persists on every page refresh, including hard refreshes, which presumably means that an error using app cache is causing them to continuously load a failed version of the site. However, mysteriously JUST clearing cookies causes the error to fix itself.
I'm completely out of ideas on how to approach this error, and googling the error message appears to get a ton of confused users with voodoo-ish approaches to solving it. I've personally seen the error, along with a number of complaint from other users of chrome, so I'm fairly certain it cannot be caused by a particular user having abnormal settings or browser preferences.
Does anyone have any insight into the cause of this browser error and its origins? Whether its likely server-side or a byproduct of app design?
