Description Ann Sunhachawee 2003-03-21 13:28:14 UTC
If user tries to replay a record for a web module
when the server is not up and running, the user
gets the info message:
"The execution server localhost:8081 is
unavailable. Start the server and try again. [OK]"

Helpful messages should contain the following
information:
*What went wrong with the action the user
tried(the request could not be replayed)
*The reason
*What to do to fix it.

Currently, the message is missing the first point,
and has to do a little more inferring as to how
their action is connected to the reason. Also,
should we mention something about the web module
instead of just the execution server to run?

Would suggest rewording the dialog a little.
Following is an example, but should be discussed
with before implementing:
"The HTTP request could not be replayed because
the execution server {0} is unavailable. \n\n

Execute the web module in the execution server
before replaying the request.  
 [OK] "

Even better would also be to let the user activate
the necessary server from this dialog.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
