IronPython: I really hope this isn't going to happen in the final version.

I mean, seriously, how is someone expected to debug this?

The bit I really dislike: try to spot where the name of the function that threw the error.  I guess it'll be slicker when it's finished...

For that matter, I'd rather not see this appear, either:

In fairness, many of Boo's error messages are pretty useless.

Can you reproduce that application error at will? If so please provide the instructions in a bug report on Codeplex.

What are you passing to WebRequest.Create()? Have you got your / and \ mixed up?

Curt: I could indeed. Sadly, I've been in Egypt for the past two weeks and have completely forgotten how. It was a bug in the IronPython spider code.

I'm now kicking myself for not documenting it properly at the time.

Ross: The URL was indeed horribly malformed. It wasn't even vaguely correct. My objection to the error message, though, was the amount that scripting implementation details were disguising my stack trace.
Something to add?

Talking sense? Talking rubbish? Something I'm missing? Let me know!
