Error Response as HTML in Solr 1.2

Hi all,

I switched to Solr version 1.2 and found that the response
format
changed completely for the error responses (for updates),
which are
delivered as HTML-Pages.

Before it was just XML coming back in all cases. Is there a
way to
change this to XML? Some switch in the solrconfig.xml I
didn't see?

Could I use a different RequestHandler? Should I use the new
URL for
updates, I still use the leagacy form.

Best regards,

Max

Check the status code for the response.  Anything not OK
will have some 
code != 200.  Using java's HttpURLConnection, you can get
all the error 
information from:
  getResponseCode()
  getResponseMessage()
Other languages will have similar functions.  The HTML
decoration is 
added from the servlet containter -- it does not have any
extra information.

Check the 'Upgrading from Solr 1.1' paragraph in
CHANGES.txt
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene
/solr/tags/release-1.2.0/CHANGES.txt

In short, to have identical behavior from 1.1 make sure
there is not a 
request handler mapped to /update
