: If the update command executes successfully, then the response is XML. In : case of error, the error page is generated by the servlet container which is : HTML I guess. Not sure what can be done about that. Perhaps Solr can have : its own error pages which output XML with the stack trace information and : the correct HTTP return codes? I opened an issue for this waaaaaay back when, but most people don't seem to mind "unstructured" error messages so it was never really prioritized. If someone wants to dust off SOLR-141 and beat it into shape, that would be cool (It looks like Daniel did some work at some point, but I don't know if anyone else has ever tried out his patch)... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-141 -Hoss
