I'm running a local dev server on Windows 7 with IIS 7.5, .Net 4. Sometimes I get exceptions on one of my sites that don't come out as the normal yellow background red font screen, but as a bunch of symbols that aren't legible. I've never had this happen on any other computer, it's difficult to describe.

Sometimes if I debug it it will catch the exception and I can view the message, but sometimes it won't. Other exceptions produce the standard error screen, this only happens occasionally.

Has anybody else every experienced this? Any ideas? Thanks!

    `it's difficult to describe.` In that case, can you take a screenshot? – Sam I am says Reinstate Monica Feb 05 '14 at 23:11
  • I just joined the site so I don't have the reputation to post images yet, I tried. It's just a white screen with the characters I pasted above. – Mike Feb 05 '14 at 23:14
  • Can you use fiddler to look at the result? – Scottie Feb 05 '14 at 23:17
  • maybe it has something to do with page's encoding or http compression? did you play with any of those? – Can Poyrazoğlu Feb 05 '14 at 23:19
  • Fiddler shows the same, attempting fixes right now from the possible duplicate link above as it does sound similar. I searched a lot for existing answers but it's a tough thing to search for. Will report back shortly – Mike Feb 05 '14 at 23:20
  • @Mike Voting to close as dupe. The question dugas linked to will most likely answer the OP's question. The answer he's received is just a worse version of what's there. – evanmcdonnal Feb 05 '14 at 23:21

    Setting the Response.Filter = null in Application_Error did resolve the issue, thanks guys, that was incredibly fast and thorough! I love this place. I guess this was a duplicate question, sorry – Mike Feb 05 '14 at 23:25

It looks like your output was gzip encoded in http, but your browser isn't decoded them as such.
