<p>Thank you for posting. Yes imagine what an impression this makes
for your foreign client.</p>
<p>I am now in a position where I did eventually succeed in
finishing the application that I was trying to create. And I sent
the link to my client.</p>
<p>I worry that when my client clicks on the link, the client might
see such a worthless error message. If so, it would make a bad
impression for the client.</p>
