[aerogear-dev] [aerogear-controller] Default Error Page

[Kris Borchers]

Which is why in my original thought, I said "We don't want our error pages to be "too pretty" unless they can be customized based on the data type requested by the client."  :)

We have to keep mobile in mind and we don't want to be using a ton of data just to throw big fancy error pages at the app, especially if it's an AJAX request or data being sent over a websocket and it won't even be displayed. In that instance, less would be more.
