2.4 frystyk 9: This module maintaines a list of error messages that might occur during load of a requested URL. The error list is put out to standard output by a simple function that easily can be overwritten by a smart server or client. <P>
10:
11: <NOTE><B>Note: </B></NOTE>
12: At the moment, HTErrorMsg() is called, if the flag HTRequest->error_block is set to YES, then a stream has been put up or taken down in the library and therefore it is <B>VERY</B> unsafe to put anything more to the stream.

25: All non-HTTP error codes have index numbers > HTERR_HTTP_CODES, and they will not be shown in the error-message generated.

83: and HT_ERR_SHOW_FATAL. <P>

85: <NOTE>Note:</NOTE> The default value is made so that it only puts a message to
86: stderr if a `real' error has occurred. If a separate widget is available for
87: information and error messages then probably HT_ERR_SHOW_DETAILED would be more
88: appropriate.

! 160: (used in Line Mode Browser), but smart clients and servers might overwrite
! 161: this function so that the error messages can be handled to the user in a nice
! 162: way. That is the reason for putting the actual implementation in HTErrorMsg.c,
