But that said, I agree with Jannifer's logic below about the stage at which it's being caught resulting in the different fault handling. Will update my server to do this now (as it was prompted by Theo sending ?query= to it and logging the fault) Rob PS: Ralph, Matthew ... is there a plan for JCDL yet apart from showing up and figuring it out when we get there? > I think that 10: 'Illegal query' is logical in this case.
